The Colts say Anthony Richardson is their starting quarterback as of Monday, but head coach Shane Steichen told reporters that they're 'evaluating' if that will stand in Week 9.
One day after Anthony Richardson took himself out of the Indianapolis Colts’ loss to the Houston Texans, head coach Shane Steichen says the quarterback position is being evaluated heading into Week 9. Being non-committal to Richardson, the team’s No. 4 overall pick from last year’s NFL Draft, means there is a chance Steichen will have him on the sideline and Joe Flacco, his veteran journeyman backup, starting Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Richardson is averaging 16.2 yards per completion, an area of his game that scouts loved coming out of Florida last year as he can really throw a great deep ball. But his overall accuracy and decision-making has been poor in 2024, including on Sunday against the Texans. Richardson was 10-of-32 passing for 175 yards with one touchdown and one interception, which included just two completions on 15 attempts in the first half.
