Anthony Richardson, quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, suffered an injury to the pinky finger on his right hand during the first quarter of the preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens last Thursday. In recent hours, the franchise received a crucial update.
Richardson’s physical condition is a hot topic in the Colts’ current situation, as the team is engaged in a competition to determine the starting quarterback alongside Daniel Jones, who has joined the team seeking quality playing time.
