The Indianapolis Colts open the 2026 NFL preseason tonight with a visit to the New England Patriots.
Key question No. 1: Who will be QB2? Anthony Richardson, the No. 4 overall 2023 draft pick, and Riley Leonard, a sixth-round pick in 2025, battling for the spot behind Daniel Jones. The winner of this battle through the preseason could open the regular season as the starter, depending on Jones' status as he recovers from an Achilles injury suffered late last season.
Key question No. 2: Who's the kicker? Blake Grupe and Spencer Shrader both performed well for the Colts last season. Shrader started 13-of-14 on field goals, with a long of 52 yards, before suffering an ACL injury. Grupe performed well the rest of the way, going 11-of-11 with a long of 60. They will both get a chance.
The game starts at 7:30 p.m. ET at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., and can be seen on Fox59 in Indianapolis.
