Colts Rule Out Anthony Richardson for Season Finale Due to Back Injury

Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco will start against the Jaguars as Richardson continues to recover from severe back spasms.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has been sidelined for the second consecutive week due to severe back pain and spasms.
Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Richardson's condition has not improved enough for him to play in the team's final game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Joe Flacco, who started last week in Richardson's absence, will again lead the Colts' offense for the season finale.
Richardson described the severity of his back issues, stating he was unable to stand or walk last week, though he has since shown some improvement.
The Colts have already been eliminated from playoff contention, marking their fourth straight season without a postseason appearance.
