Anthony Richardson leaves Colts game in 1st half
Anthony Richardson left the Indianapolis Colts game against the Houston Texans in the second quarter on Sunday after taking a big hit.
The rookie quarterback from Florida has now been ruled out with a concussion, Joel Erickson reports. Gardner Minshew came into the game to replace Richardson and managed to lead the Colts to a touchdown on his first drive.
Before leaving the game, Richardson picked up 56 passing yards along with a pair of rushing touchdowns. Richardson took a hard fit on his way into the end zone on his second touchdown, but he stayed in the game for the next 2 series before being pulled out.
In his debut last week, he had 223 passing yards, 3 touchdowns and an interception in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
While the Colts are hoping to get their rookie quarterback on the field soon, they are managing fine without him, leading the Texans 21-7 as the second quarter nears an end.
Richardson was drafted 4th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Colts after a standout sophomore season at Florida. Last season for the Gators, Richardson logged 2,549 yards and 17 touchdowns.
And yet he was so durable in college!
Coming soon to Indy: after being told at some point AR can’t play due to an injured knee, they watch him do backflips on the sideline before the game.
Must exercise that knee somehow.
Get used to it. He runs way too much!!! Those NFL players are the biggest, fastest, strongest and best of the best players!!!!!
Stetson Bennett is tough for his size and is actually hard to put a huge hit on him!!! His smaller size helps him in the running game. Because of this very thing!
Anybody can get hurt. But AR is a huge target. If you get to him. You can hit him really hard. AR can also deliver a great hit!!!! He just runs way too much!!!! Good luck and prayers for AR!!!!!
I despise injuries and yet. Some people like Sean Payton actually pay bounties on rival players!!!! That is terrible!!!!
PS. Absolutely no class!!!!

Sorry to hear this. Exactly one of the concerns we had.
Nash, I’m not much of an NFL fan, but the running qb thing is in again now. At the amount they’re now being paid, it’s going to be interesting to see how well these guys hold up over a few seasons. Those LBs and Safeties in the NFL leave long lasting injuries on qbs.
He does get injured a lot.
Running backs don’t play quarterback for long in the NFL.
