Colts vs. Jaguars: Injuries Impact Key Players

The Indianapolis Colts are likely to start veteran quarterback Joe Flacco in their upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to Anthony Richardson being downgraded to doubtful with an oblique injury sustained against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Flacco stepped in for Richardson last week, completing 16 of 26 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns, securing a win over Pittsburgh. The Colts face additional challenges with key players, including center Ryan Kelly and running back Jonathan Taylor, also ruled out or doubtful due to injuries. This situation presents a dilemma for head coach Shane Steichen, who must balance Richardson's development with the team's immediate needs as they aim to end their losing streak against the Jaguars. The Colts are currently 2-2, while the Jaguars are struggling with a 0-4 record.
