Colts QB Anthony Richardson hurts throwing hand in preseason opener

Anthony Richardson’s poor injury luck continued Thursday night when the quarterback left the first quarter of the Indianapolis Colts’ preseason opener at the Baltimore Ravens.

Richardson got the start over offseason acquisition Daniel Jones and suffered a finger injury on his right (throwing) hand on his second drive under center.

He was sacked by David Ojabo for an eight-yard loss midway through the first quarter, and replay showed his pinkie finger was bent at an awkward angle. Richardson immediately came out of the game, replaced by Jones.

In his brief appearance Thursday, Richardson completed 2 of 3 passes for 21 yards.

Richardson is battling to keep his starting job after making 11 starts in 2024 and briefly being benched for Joe Flacco.

As a rookie in 2023, Richardson suffered an AC joint sprain in his fourth career start and soon underwent season-ending shoulder surgery. He missed two games with an oblique injury as well as two more due to back spasms last season and missed mandatory minicamp with a shoulder injury this summer.
