Leonard started the Colts' 2025 season finale after the team was eliminated from playoff contention, and the 2025 sixth-round pick delivered a respectable performance, throwing for 270 yards and generating three total TDs along with three turnovers. Daniel Jones is recovering from a Dec. 7 Achilles tear, while Anthony Richardson has submitted a trade request and didn't play after Week 5 last season due to an eye injury, so there's a realistic path to Leonard being the Colts' top healthy QB at the start of the season. Jones is expected to reclaim the starting role whenever he's healthy enough to play.
