Richardson Injured in Colts' Preseason Opener

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson suffered a finger injury to his throwing hand during the first quarter of the 2025 preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens, after taking a blindside sack from David Ojabo. Richardson, who has missed significant time in prior seasons due to various injuries, was competing with Daniel Jones for the starting quarterback role. Daniel Jones replaced Richardson and led the Colts to three field-goal attempts while posting modest passing numbers. The Colts had planned for both quarterbacks to get extended preseason playing time, but Richardson's injury could keep him sidelined until the regular season. Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon stated that Richardson still has time to prove himself, but staying healthy is a major challenge. The Colts now face ongoing uncertainty at quarterback heading into the 2025 season.
