Anthony Richardson Addresses Injury Concerns

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has faced scrutiny over injuries that have limited his playtime in his first two seasons, exiting four of eight games due to various injuries, including a recent hip injury during a match against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In response to fans labeling him as 'injury-prone,' Richardson emphasized the physical nature of football, asserting that even critics would struggle with the hits players endure. Despite the criticism, he remains focused on recovery and is optimistic about his availability for the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Former NFL All-Pro Mitchell Schwartz pointed out that Richardson should compare himself to other quarterbacks, not the average person, highlighting the need for a realistic assessment of his performance against peers. Richardson's mobility, while a strength, has also increased his risk of injury, as evidenced by his rushing attempts in games. As he continues to address the concerns, both he and the Colts hope for improved health and performance moving forward.
