In the preseason commencement, Indianapolis Colts quarterback, Anthony Richardson, sustains an injury to his throwing hand
In the opening game of the preseason, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson suffered a dislocated pinky finger on his throwing hand[1][3]. The injury occurred during a sack by Baltimore Ravens' David Ojabo, resulting in an eight-yard loss[1][2][3]. Despite the incident, X-rays later came back clean, and Richardson downplayed the injury, expressing optimism about a speedy recovery and a possible return to practice soon[3].
The injury has added another challenge to Richardson's competition with offseason acquisition Daniel Jones for the Colts' starting quarterback position[3]. This preseason setback comes after a series of injuries that have impacted Richardson's career since his rookie year in 2023.
In 2023, Richardson missed 13 games due to a shoulder injury[3]. The following year, in 2024, he struggled with back, foot, hip, and oblique injuries that affected his availability and performance[1][3]. The summer of 2023 saw Richardson missing mandatory minicamp due to a shoulder injury, and he underwent season-ending shoulder surgery that year[1].
Despite these setbacks, Richardson started 11 games for the Colts in 2024[2]. The nature or severity of his current finger injury is not specified, and the expected recovery timeline is not mentioned in the article. The focus remains on Richardson's determination to overcome this latest hurdle and continue his pursuit of the starting quarterback position.
