Richardson has had a solid start to his NFL career, but his rookie season has been derailed with injuries. He missed part of his NFL debut after taking a hit to the knee, but was able to return in Week 2. But he then suffered a concussion in Week 2, forcing him to miss the rest of that game as well as the Colts’ Week 3 game.
In total this season, he has played just 12 of 20 possible quarters, but he has been good when he is on the field, recording 577 passing yards and 3 touchdowns.
