Daniel Jones is getting a second shot as a starter.
The Colts named the ex-Giants quarterback as their Week 1 starter following an offseason battle against Anthony Richardson, the team’s fourth overall pick in 2023, multiple reports said Tuesday.
Jones, a first-round pick in 2019, was released from the Giants last November after a rollercoaster five-and-a-half seasons.
The breaking point came after a putrid 2-8 start to the franchise’s celebratory 100th season.
He finished the season with the Vikings — mostly on the practice squad — before signing a one-year, $14 million contract with the Colts in free agency.
The Colts open the season on Sept. 7 against the Dolphins.
