Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson experienced a scare Thursday night in a preseason matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. Richardson got blown up on a sack that was determined to be his fault. X-rays have been reported to be ‘’clean,’’ allowing for Richardson to return in the coming days. In total, it is a dislocated pinky. 

This is good news for Richardson who had been shining in training camp. The problem lies in the fact that Richardson made a fundamental mistake in not recognizing he had to get rid of the ball quickly. A key difference between training camp practice and pre-season games is that pre-season games allow for contact. 

With this being an early test for the starting quarterback job between Daniel Jones and Richardson, the positive news on the injury front is muted when considering what led to the injury. Head coach Shane Steichen is surely going to be frustrated with the former 4th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Meanwhile, Daniel Jones isn’t lighting things up on his end either. Much like Browns fans have already done, it would be wise for Colts fans to stock their fridge with a copious amount of beer.
