Hot Start
Anthony Richardson has been off to a great start for the Colts, passing for 279 yards and a touchdown, along with 75 rushing yards and three touchdowns. He has brought a versatile style to the Colts that they haven’t seen before, which is why the Colts have started the season hot with a 2-1 record.
It’ll be vital for Indianapolis to get their rookie quarterback in the lineup this weekend as they will be facing the Los Angeles Rams, who have been dominant defensively so far this season. If Richardson can participate in Sunday’s game, the Colts have a good shot to be 3-1.
Injury Progress
So far, there is no official word on the recovery of Anthony Richardson, all we know is that he will be a participant in practice this week. There looks to be a good chance that the rookie quarterback will start this week though since he will be practicing his reads and drills. We will keep you updated on this situation as it continues to unfold.
