Colts Close Preseason With 41-14 Win as Rookie Riley Leonard Impresses

The finale doubled as a roster audition before Tuesday’s 53-man deadline, with quarterback roles already set for Week 1.

Overview

  • Sixth-round rookie Riley Leonard started the first half and went 15-of-20 for 189 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown just before halftime.
  • Laquon Treadwell caught six passes for 116 yards and the long score to cap a standout first half.
  • With regulars resting, safety Daniel Scott returned a Desmond Ridder interception 35 yards for a first-quarter touchdown.
  • Indianapolis has already named Daniel Jones the Week 1 starter with Anthony Richardson as the backup, and both did not play.
  • Injury notes and roster outlook: Colts guard Josh Sills exited with a shoulder injury, Bengals safety Daijahn Anthony left with a right leg injury, and Cincinnati rookie Jalen Rivers is the likely Week 1 starter at right guard as final cuts approach.
