Indianapolis quarterback Anthony Richardson was ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh after appearing to injure his hip in the first quarter.
After being hit near the right hip on a 14-yard scramble downfield with 5:42 to play in the first quarter, Richardson, the second-year starter, immediately was seen reaching for the area.
But on his first play back, Richardson struggled to run to his left on first-and-goal just 6 yards from the end zone and immediately left the game again, with Joe Flacco entering as the Colts’ replacement.
The team initially ruled Richardson as questionable to return, but he was soon downgraded to out for the rest of the game.
Shortly after he returned, he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in October 2023 that required surgery.
