Colts’ Anthony Richardson (Finger) may practice Saturday after panic caused by injury
On Thursday night, the Colts hosted their first preseason game of 2025. They are facing the Ravens’ path. QB Anthony Richardson’s throwing hand was injured during Indianapolis’ first offensive drive.
He quit the game and was replaced by Daniel Jones. Fortunately, ESPN’s Stephen Holder reported that Anthony Richardson suffered only a dislocation of his pinky finger. The X-rays have been restored to clean, and the practice at 23 on Saturday is very likely. The Colts took a day off Friday after Thursday’s preseason.

At the 2023 NFL Draft, the Colts chose QB Anthony Richardson with the fourth pick, starting from Florida. After Richardson graduated, Richardson was one of the most attractive players in the draft. His original talents and skills are undeniable. However, the young QB lacks the start experience of most first-round picks. Anyway, the Colts were ecstatic.
It was an incredible start for Anthony Richardson in two seasons. The young QB struggled with injuries early in her career. As a 2023 rookie, Richardson played four games for the Colts. He missed 13 games due to shoulder surgery at the end of the season. In 2024, Richardson started 11 of the Colts’ 17 games. He missed several games due to injury and even served as the bench for veteran QB Joe Flacco.
