Head coach Shane Steichen announced on Wednesday that rookie Riley Leonard will be the backup quarterback behind Daniel Jones for the Colts' Week 7 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Sunday's game will technically be Leonard's second as a backup quarterback in the NFL, as he was thrust into the role following a freak injury to Anthony Richardson Sr. during pregame band work before the Colts' Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Richardson was placed on injured reserve on Monday and will miss a minimum of four games.

Leonard didn't have much time to really process anything that day before the game started. He was prepared and he was ready to play, but he was also just hoping his friend was going to be okay.

Now, Leonard has a week to absorb the fact that he'll be Jones' backup.
