Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson was hurt Sunday in team warmups. While Richardson’s injury was kept under wraps during the game, it appears that the situation is serious.
“It is an orbital fracture for Anthony Richardson, coach Shane Steichen told reporters. He spent the game in the hospital,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The Colts defeated the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, by a 31-27 score. Indianapolis is now 5-1 on the season, following the win. Richardson has been dealing with injury issues throughout his NFL career.
Richardson had lost the starting job this season to Daniel Jones. Jones joined the Colts after departing from the New York Giants, where he was reportedly not happy.
Jones threw for 212 yards on Sunday, leading the Colts. He also threw two touchdown passes.
Indianapolis scored 14 points in the fourth quarter Sunday, to charge back and beat Arizona. Jones threw one of his two touchdown passes in the final quarter of the game.
Colts fans hope that Richardson can return soon. Indianapolis next plays the Los Angeles Chargers on October 19.
