Richardson’s Dislocated Pinky Intensifies Colts QB Competition

A Fox Sports prediction combined with Richardson’s early-game injury has intensified pressure on Indianapolis to resolve its quarterback uncertainty.

Overview

  • Anthony Richardson exited Indianapolis’s preseason opener against Baltimore after dislocating the pinky on his throwing hand.
  • He has completed just 50.6% of his career passes, including a league-low 47% mark in 2024, and has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns.
  • Daniel Jones, signed in March to challenge Richardson, has taken over first-team reps in camp and appears to hold the edge for the 2025 starting role.
  • Fox Sports analyst Jason McIntyre predicted in early August that Richardson could end up in the Canadian Football League if he fails to secure the starting job.
  • General manager Chris Ballard and coach Shane Steichen face a looming decision on whether to stick with Richardson or explore other quarterback options before the regular season.
