Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson to start preseason opener

WESTFIELD, Ind. -- Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson will start Saturday's preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills.

Richardson, the fourth overall pick in this year's NFL draft, continues to battle Gardner Minshew for the starting job, but coach Shane Steichen stopped short of suggesting this decision was a step toward the rookie being the Colts' Week 1 starter.

The Colts, however, are very much interested in learning more about Richardson and want to see him in action.

"I want to just see where he's at," Steichen said Thursday.
