Overview

  • Anthony Richardson resumed full-team snaps on opening day after a late-May shutdown of his surgically repaired AC joint limited his offseason throwing.
  • Daniel Jones earned equal first-team reps and is viewed as a slight favorite for the Week 1 start by bet365 Sportsbook, reflecting external confidence in his durability and accuracy.
  • Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon stressed that Richardson remains on his rookie deal with time to develop and that competition will drive urgency in his progression.
  • General manager Chris Ballard reiterated that this season is not make-or-break for Richardson, citing patience with high-draft QBs like Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold who blossomed later.
  • Coach Shane Steichen plans to alternate daily starter reps and evaluate both quarterbacks in joint practices and preseason games before naming a Week 1 starter.
