Colts QB Anthony Richardson Leaves Preseason Game With Dislocated Finger Injury

During the Indianapolis Colts' preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, quarterback Anthony Richardson suffered a dislocated pinky finger on his right hand after a blind-side sack by Ravens linebacker David Ojabo. This injury forced Richardson, who has a history of recurring injuries including a sprained shoulder and other issues, to leave the game early and miss the remainder of the contest. Richardson, a former No. 4 overall pick, was competing with offseason acquisition Daniel Jones for the Colts' starting quarterback position, but this setback could hinder his chances significantly. Daniel Jones took over the quarterback duties during the game and led the offense on two field goal drives, while the Colts ultimately lost 24–16. The Colts have not provided a timetable for Richardson's return, leaving uncertainty about his availability for upcoming games. The injury and Richardson's ongoing health struggles have sparked concern among fans and analysts about the stability of the Colts' quarterback situation going into the season.
