Richardson suffered an eye injury while warming up with a sideline before the game, NFL Network reported. Colts rookie Riley Leonard will back up Jones during the game.
The former Florida standout has had a rough 2025 year so far, and the reported eye injury compounds matters. He has only appeared in the Colts’ wins against the Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders this season. He has one completion for nine yards.
The Colts selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft. However, he missed most of his rookie season in 2023 due to injury. He was 2-2 in four starts with 577 passing yards and three touchdown passes.
