After being benched, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson returned to the team with optimism, expressing his desire to learn and improve. Coach Shane Steichen reassured that the franchise still believes in Richardson's potential despite his recent struggles.

Richardson's situation is unique, as he has had fewer starts than many top-10 drafted quarterbacks. The Colts view his benching as a chance for him to enhance his game preparation rather than solely a reflection of his performance.

The locker room's reaction has been mixed, with teammates expressing surprise and support for Richardson. As the Colts navigate their quarterback situation, Richardson remains hopeful for another opportunity to prove himself.
