Colts' Anthony Richardson Leaves Game vs. Texans

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson left Sunday's game early against the Houston Texans during the second quarter and was ruled out after entering into the NFL concussion protocol.

There was no obvious play or reason for Richardson to be evaluated, but he did hit his head on the ground during the first quarter following his second touchdown run of the day.

Drive opening. Drive closing.
