by Titans at Colts Week 6: Jones Starts, Richardson Still Watching
Tennessee is 0–5. Indianapolis is 2–3.
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET. FOX. Lucas Oil Stadium.
Daniel Jones starts. Anthony Richardson has not taken a regular-season snap. That is the story on this desk.
The matchup
Titans at Colts. AFC South. Indianapolis has won the last six meetings. Tennessee has not won a game this year.
Colts need a win at home against a winless division rival. Titans need to stop the streak.

If Jones stays upright, Richardson watches again. If he does not, this page and the depth chart change the same afternoon. Same URLs. No twins.
What the last two weeks showed
Week 4, London. Colts 30, Commanders 13. Jones finished. Taylor scored twice. Richardson did not enter. Recap: Colts 30, Commanders 13.
Week 5. Steelers 34, Colts 22. Jones went 24-of-44 for 266 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions. Taylor was held to 45 rushing yards. Richardson did not appear.
Jones has finished every game. The backup has not been used.
What to watch
Three things
- Whether Jones takes the first snap and finishes.
- Whether Richardson enters at any point.
- Whether the Colts get off 2–3 against a 0–5 team at home.
What it means
This is not a parade for Richardson. After five games it is not a burial either.
Indianapolis has a starter who has played every snap and a backup who has not. Sunday is the next test of that order.
Jones first. Richardson next. Until the desk changes those two lines.
