Anthony Richardson Will Play In Preseason Opener

3 months ago

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson and the vast majority of the team's starters will see action in the preseason opener this Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium against the visiting Denver Broncos, according to head coach Shane Steichen. "The starters will play a series or two and then we'll get the young guys in there," Steichen said after Friday's practice. It will be Richardson's first time playing in an NFL game since suffering a season-ending right-shoulder injury in Week 5 of last year. He then had surgery on Oct. 24 to fix a sprained AC joint. The 22-year-old former first-rounder has little experience in the league and is more of an injury risk than most QBs because of his propensity to run with the ball, but his dual-threat upside is elite and will make him a popular QB1 target in fantasy drafts once the top-tier names come off the board.
