Anthony Richardson’s injury: Colts provide worrying update on the matter
Getting the victory in Week 5 was crucial for the Colts. They were able to defeat the Titans in a divisional game, and now they have the same record (3-2) of the Jacksonville Jaguars to stay on top of the AFC South.
Unfortunately, their game was not perfect. During the second quarter, Richardson fell to the ground over his shoulder. He immediately left the field in clear pain and was ruled out for the rest of the match.
Now, the Colts have provided a major update on the quarterback’s injury. Richardson had to visit the hospital for an MRI, and, according to NFL Media, he suffered an AC joint sprain, which could take between two to six weeks to recover.
