Overview
- Head coach Shane Steichen said Riley Leonard will back up starter Daniel Jones for the Colts’ Week 7 game against the Chargers.
- Brett Rypien was signed to the practice squad and had not arrived in Indianapolis as of Wednesday morning, making a quick ramp-up for this week unlikely.
- Per NFL rules, Rypien must be elevated to be active on gameday and an emergency third quarterback must be on the 53-man roster.
- Anthony Richardson sustained a fractured orbital bone during pregame warmups in Week 6 and is on injured reserve for at least four games, though he remains engaged in meetings.
- On defense, Charvarius Ward entered the concussion protocol and did not practice Wednesday, while Kenny Moore II returned to limited work following an Achilles injury.
