Overview
- Head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday the team will not activate Richardson for the Texans game due to lingering vision limitations from his October orbital fracture.
- The Colts opened Richardson's 21-day practice window on Dec. 18, and he has practiced in a limited capacity while reporting that catching the snap at close range remains the toughest task.
- Riley Leonard will start the regular-season finale, with Seth Henigan a candidate to back up; if he is not ready, Philip Rivers would serve as the reserve.
- Richardson will finish the season on injured reserve after two game appearances, and the decision comes with the Colts already eliminated from playoff contention.
- Indianapolis enters the offseason weighing a May 1 fifth-year option decision and Daniel Jones' Achilles recovery, while Richardson says he has 'no doubt' about his NFL future.
