Colts' Anthony Richardson: Limited in practice, out for Sunday
Anthony Richardson (orbital) was a limited practice participant Thursday.After the Indianapolis 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.

The Indianapolis Colts opened Anthony 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
Anthony 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 Indianapolis 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.
