Overview

• Richardson exited the Colts’ preseason opener in Baltimore after linebacker David Ojabo’s unblocked sack dislocated his throwing-hand pinkie.
• Postgame X-rays revealed no fractures, and the Colts have listed Richardson as day-to-day with plans to resume practice in the coming days.
• The shortened outing handed veteran Daniel Jones extended live-game work that could influence the Week 1 starter decision.
• Richardson’s recurring soft-tissue injuries, including a season-ending AC joint sprain as a rookie, have fueled durability concerns that led Indy to add Jones this offseason.
• Head coach Shane Steichen described the play as a “tricky one” and stressed that Richardson must improve his pocket awareness to avoid similar breakdowns.
