Colts' Anthony Richardson: Will start again when healthy
Coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Richardson (oblique) "is our starting quarterback" when he returns to full health, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Richardson took a big hit to his midsection during a Week 4 win against the Steelers and has been sidelined since. Veteran backup Joe Flacco has fared well in his place, completing 49 of 70 passes for 527 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions over the course of seven-and-a-half quarters. The good play won't equate to further starts for Flacco once Richardson is healthy, but it does give the Colts the luxury of not rushing the second-year pro back into action. He'll likely need to bump up his activity level this week in order to have a chance of suiting up this coming Sunday at Tennessee.
