Overview

  • Richardson exited the Colts’ preseason opener at Baltimore on August 7 after dislocating the pinky on his throwing hand during an unblocked sack by Ravens linebacker David Ojabo.
  • Colts medical staff popped the joint back into place on-site and X-rays taken at halftime on Friday returned clean, leading to a day-to-day prognosis.
  • Multiple ESPN sources report that Richardson tested light throws on the sideline and could resume full practice as soon as Saturday.
  • The injury prompted Indianapolis to reallocate preseason reps, giving veteran Daniel Jones extended snaps to compensate for Richardson’s absence.
  • The team will continue dividing live reps between Richardson and Jones in practice and exhibition play before deciding on the Week 1 starting quarterback.
