Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco will receive his second straight start in Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, Tenn.
Flacco is getting the nod against the Titans with Anthony Richardson serving as the emergency quarterback behind Sam Ehlinger. Richardson practiced all week but still is working his way past an oblique injury he sustained in the Colts’ 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 29.
Flacco completed 33 of 44 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns in Indianapolis’ 37-34 setback to the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday.
The Colts (2-3) did not rule out Michael Pittman Jr. despite multiple reports noting that the wide receiver would miss several weeks with a back injury.
Pittman, 27, has led Indianapolis in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in each of the past three seasons. He has a club-best 22 catches for 238 yards and a touchdown through five games this season after signing a three-year, $70 million extension in March.
In addition to star running back Jonathan Taylor, the Colts listed the following players as inactive: defensive end Genard Avery, wide receiver Anthony Gould and center Danny Pinter.
The Titans (1-3) listed the following players as inactive: linebackers Caleb Murphy and James Williams, tight ends David Martin-Robinson and Thomas Odukoya, defensive lineman Keondre Coburn and offensive tackle Jaelyn Duncan.
