• Colts' Anthony Richardson: Won't play Monday vs. San Francisco

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Shane Steichen said Saturday that Richardson (orbital) will not be available for Monday's game against the 49ers, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports. The Colts designated Richardson to return from injured reserve Thursday, but he won't be activated from IR ahead of Monday's game after being a limited practice participant during Week 16 prep. His next opportunity to return is Week 17 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 28, but even if he does return, he'll likely serve as the Colts' backup quarterback to Philip Rivers.

• Colts' Anthony Richardson: Limited in practice, out for Sunday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Richardson (orbital) was a limited practice participant Thursday. After the Colts officially opened his 21-day evaluation window Thursday, Richardson took part in practice for the first time since sustaining a fractured orbital bone in his right eye Oct. 12 while working out on the field prior to a game. Prior to Thursday's session, head coach Shane Steichen noted that Richardson still had some vision limitations in his right eye, prompting the Colts to rule the third-year quarterback out for Monday's game against the 49ers. For his part, Richardson told Stephen Holder of ESPN.com that he feels mostly back to normal, but the Colts aren't yet ready to commit to him being activated from injured reserve this season until he's evaluated more extensively in practice. The Colts will turn to Philip Rivers to make a second straight start in Week 16, but Richardson could be an option to unseat Rivers for the top job or Riley Leonard for No. 2 duties at some point over the final two games of the regular season.

• Colts' Anthony Richardson: Set to practice Thursday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  The Colts opened Richardson's (orbital) 21-day practice window Thursday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports. Per Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis, Richardson, who last practiced Oct. 10, is likely to be eased back into drills, with some scout-team reps possibly on tap during Thursday's session. While Richardson's return to practice is a step in the right direction, head coach Shane Steichen noted that the signal-caller "still has some vision limitations" as a result of fracturing the orbital bone in his right eye and won't be available for Monday's game against the 49ers. With Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the season, Philip Rivers is currently the top quarterback on the Colts' roster, while Riley Leonard is next up on the depth chart.

• Colts' Anthony Richardson: Medically cleared, still on IR

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Richardson (orbital) has been cleared to resume football activities, but it remains uncertain whether he will return for Indianapolis' final three games of the regular season, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports. Richardson remains on injured reserve after having suffered an orbital bone fracture during Oct. 12 warmups prior to a matchup against Arizona, and Indianapolis has yet to offer even a tentative update on his 21-day practice window opening. In the wake of Daniel Jones (Achilles) sustaining a season-ending injury Dec. 7, the Colts turned to veteran signee Philip Rivers to start Week 15 against the Seahawks, while Richardson remained on IR. Head coach Shane Steichen said last week that Richardson was "not ready yet" but that an update would be provided upon him being cleared for contact, as has now occurred.

• Colts' Anthony Richardson: Expected to miss multiple weeks

  10/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Richardson (eye) is expected to mis multiple weeks after sustaining an orbital fracture ahead of Sunday's win over the Cardinals, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports. Richardson was hospitalized after being hit in the eye by a piece of workout equipment in pregame warmups Sunday. He's dealing with significant swelling around the eye, impairing his vision, though there isn't believed to be any damage to his actual eye. With Richardson out for the immediate future, the Colts could look outside the organization for a veteran backup behind Daniel Jones. Sixth-round rookie Riley Leonard is another option for QB2 duties.
