Colts' Richardson Exits vs. Titans with Apparent Shoulder Injury
Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Anthony Richardson left Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans early with an apparent right shoulder injury. He was then officially ruled out for the remainder of the game.
The injury occurred with 4:39 remaining in the second quarter when Richardson ran to his right and was brought down by Titans edge defender Harold Landry III.
Richardson laid on the turf for a little while after the play and then left the field with trainers before heading to the sideline, taking a knee and then being escorted into the blue medical tent for further evaluation. After a few minutes, Richardson then made his way to the locker room.
He was replaced in the game by Gardner Minshew.
At the time of the injury, the Colts were up, 10-6, and Richardson was 9-of-12 passing (75.0%) for 98 yards (8.2 YPA) and a passer rating of 98.6. He also had 2 carries for 5 yards (2.5 avg.).
This is the third time that Richardson has been injured this season in the first five games, suffering knee/ankle ailments in Week 1, a concussion in Week 2 that cost him a game-and-a-half, and then Sunday with the shoulder injury.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Richardson underwent X-rays that came out negative. Rapoport's colleague, Tom Pelissero, reported after the game that the initial diagnosis for Richardson is a sprained AC joint and he'll undergo an MRI.
