Anthony Richardson was named the starter for the Indianapolis Colts’ preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
The third-year pro lasted just two series, though, before being ruled out for the game due to a finger injury.
Here’s what to know about Richardson’s injury:
Anthony Richardson injury update
Colts coach Shane Steichen said after halftime that Richardson had suffered a dislocated pinky in the first half of Thursday’s 24-16 loss to the Ravens.
‘I don’t know the extent of it,’ Steichen said, per FOX59. ‘It was just a dislocation, popped it and popped back in. I don’t know how long he’ll be out.’
Richardson seemed confident afterwards. ‘I’ll be good,’ he told reporters.
Richardson was hurt after being sacked by Ravens edge rusher David Ojabo on a second-and-10 pass attempt. Ojabo came unblocked off the right side of the Colts offensive line, hitting Richardson hard while the quarterback was looking to the left.
Richardson landed on his left shoulder and eventually got up before jogging off the field under his own power, favoring his right hand.
The Colts later announced that Richardson would not return to the game because of the injury.
Richardson was replaced by veteran Daniel Jones, who was expected to start Indianapolis’ second preseason game as part of the team’s quarterback battle between the former first-round picks.
Richardson was seen standing on the sideline with an earpiece in as Indianapolis took the field for its third offensive drive of the game. He appeared after halftime to be wearing some tape on his injured finger.
