Colts Reinstate Richardson as QB Amid Losing Streak

The Indianapolis Colts have reinstated Anthony Richardson as their starting quarterback after a two-game benching in favor of veteran Joe Flacco. Head coach Shane Steichen clarified that the decision to bench Richardson was part of a developmental process emphasizing his progress rather than a lack of faith in his abilities. Despite Flacco's six turnovers in two losses, the decision to return Richardson to the starting role was primarily due to his professional growth. Richardson expressed gratitude for the time off, which allowed him to reflect and improve. The Colts aim to break a three-game losing streak as Richardson leads the team against the New York Jets this Sunday. The move suggests a commitment to Richardson's development and potential as a future leader for the team.
