Colts QB Richardson's Injury Raises Durability Questions

News summary

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson exited the preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens after suffering a dislocated pinky finger on his throwing hand from a blindside sack by David Ojabo. Richardson admitted post-game that he should have recognized the blitz and adjusted protection, while analysts Shannon Sharpe and Kurt Warner also criticized his decision-making. Head coach Shane Steichen now describes Richardson's injury as 'day-to-day,' with no long-term timeline provided. Richardson's early exit, after completing 2-of-3 passes for 21 yards, led to Daniel Jones and backup Riley Leonard finishing the game, which ended in a 24-16 Colts loss. The injury and Richardson's history of inconsistency and injuries have intensified doubts about his readiness and durability as the team's potential franchise quarterback. The Colts continue to evaluate their quarterback options during preseason.
