Anthony Richardson dislocates pinkie in preseason game

The young quarterback faces yet another injury setback after missing significant time in previous seasons.

Anthony Richardson sustains pinkie injury during preseason opener

Anthony Richardson suffered a dislocated pinkie finger during the Colts' preseason opener against the Ravens. This incident comes after the quarterback missed 17 games over his first two seasons due to injuries. Coach Steve Steichen informed the media that the injury occurred on Richardson's throwing hand. He stated, “I don’t know the extent of it. It was just a dislocation. Popped it and popped back in. I don’t know how long he’ll be out.” Earlier in the game, Richardson had a brief appearance, completing 2 of 3 passes for 21 yards before leaving the field following a hit from Ravens edge rusher David Ojabo.

Richardson's latest injury raises concerns about his durability and long-term potential as the Colts' starting quarterback. With a string of injuries in his early career, team management may need to reconsider their plans for him. The Colts have invested heavily in Richardson and will likely monitor his recovery closely, as they aim to build a reliable foundation around the young player. His ability to stay healthy may be just as critical as his performance on the field.

The Colts' focus will now shift to ensuring Richardson's swift recovery and future performance.
