Shane Steichen on where Colts' QB battle stands going into 2nd preseason game
"We'll work through that," Steichen said via Colts.com. "We had today, we got a preseason game (Saturday), we have some practices next week and we'll work through that. I don't have an exact timetable on it, but sooner rather than later would be nice."
Steichen added that he wants to see how Saturday plays out and see where things go early next week.
Perhaps part of the difficulty here is that from the outside looking in, it doesn't look like either quarterback has seized control of the starting job.
Anthony Richardson has certainly improved on his short to intermediate throws, an area that was a priority for him during the offseason. His decision-making has gotten better as well.
However, as ESPN's Stephen Holder put it in a recent article of his, Richardson has still been "somewhat boom-or-bust" -- able to generate the big plays but still missing some easy throws he has to make.
On the flip side, Daniel Jones has been an efficient passer throughout his career but has struggled to create explosive plays down the field.
If Steichen truly does view this quarterback competition as close, my guess would be that Richardson gets the nod, but that still remains to be seen.
Deciding who will start Week 1 isn't only about completion rate either. As Steichen has said, he's looking for consistency, and that goes across the board.
"I think it all matters, it all counts," Steichen said. "Every rep matters. Every walkthrough matters. Every meeting matters. It all matters. So, everything's being evaluated."
From the sounds of it, Saturday's preseason game will be a crucial part of this decision-making process.

We hit 24 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We've reached 24 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 24 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 24 Who's wearing it now: No one Marcus Peters was the last to wear it in 2023, which was his final season in the NFL. Who wore it best: CB Willie Brown Brown joined the Raiders in 1967 having already gone to two Pro Bowls. He had seven interceptions that season and the Raiders made their first Super Bowl. And Brown made his third Pro Bowl to begin a string of seven straight Pro Bowls, four times named an All Pro. In 1976, the Raiders would go back to the Super Bowl. This time they would win it. And in epic style, with 'Old Man Willie' intercepting a Fran Tarkenton pass and returning it 75 yards for the score. In his 12 years in a Raider uniform, Willie had 39 interceptions in the regular season and seven more in the playoffs. He was a no-brainer first ballot Hall of Famer. Honorable Mention: DB Charles Woodson Only in a world where someone like Willie Brown wore the same number would Woodson take a backseat to anyone. And, quite honestly, had he not spent seven years in Green Bay in the middle of his career, he'd take the top spot here. Woodson was the Raiders pick at number four overall in the 1998 NFL Draft as the only ever primarily defensive player to win the Heisman. He didn't miss a beat, winning AP Defensive Rookie of the Year and starting his career with four straight Pro Bowls. Then he would six seasons without making the Pro Bowl, including two in Green Bay. It was with the Packers that Woodson would reach his greatest heights, including getting a Super Bowl ring and winning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. In 2013, at the age of 37, he would rejoin the Raiders this time as a safety and play his final three seasons in Oakland, making the Pro Bowl in his final season and riding off into the sunset on his terms. A truly legendary career.

They're Losing Their Vision. They Still Love Playing Tennis.
Sharon Murphy lived in a house full of books, and when her eyesight started to fail in her 70s, she had to make some changes. The books had to go, thousands of them. There were classes to attend: how to get around her apartment and the city, how to manage paperwork and use a computer. She went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a session that helps blind and visually impaired people appreciate the collection. There, she heard of something that stopped her: blind tennis. Really? Blind tennis? Ms. Murphy had never played tennis, or sports in general. But this piqued her curiosity. 'Tell me more,' she said. So on a Saturday morning this spring, she made her way to the Sound of Tennis, where blind and visually impaired players convene free of charge at Court 16, a tennis and pickleball club with three branches in New York City. For Ms. Murphy, 81, that first lesson offered more than just tennis. 'It opened a world of possibilities,' she said the other day, near her home on the Upper West Side. Ms. Murphy has a warm manner and lights up when she talks about her adventures on the court. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Nike sues Edison Chen for breach of contract
15 Aug - It was reported that sports brand Nike USA is now suing Edison Chen and his company for a breach of contract. The company is seeking USD 126,615 from Edison and his company Juice Los Angeles, stating that they owe Nike that amount of money for goods and services that they provided to the company. It is noted that the amount was originally stated as USD 126,615,000, but was later amended as it was due to a clerical error. The lawsuit came after Edison announced his streetwear brand Clot's collaboration with Nike's rival, Adidas. However, it is noted that the new collaboration has nothing to do with Nike's filing of the lawsuit. It is noted that Edison's brand announced their cooperation with Adidas at Clot's spring 2024 show, stating that their new collection will be called Adidas Originals by Edison Chen. Both parties have made no comments regarding the said lawsuit. (Photo Source: Clot IG, Edison Chen IG)
