Report: Colts' Anthony Richardson Expected to Be Out vs. Jags After Injury vs. Titans

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson has been diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder suffered against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday that could force the Colts to place him on injured reserve, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler also reported that Richardson is "expected to miss" the Colts' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6:

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported Richardson went to the hospital to have an MRI.

Richardson landed on his right shoulder while carrying the ball on a designed run in the second quarter. Before that, he had gone 9-of-12 for 98 yards through the air.

He was later ruled out in the third quarter.

Rapoport reported initial X-rays on his shoulder were negative.

The extent to which injuries have already begun to add up for the No. 4 overall pick will be concerning for Indianapolis.

Richardson experienced minor knee and ankle trouble in a Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. He then suffered a concussion in Indy's Week 2 victory over the Houston Texans, which caused him to miss the subsequent win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Richardson's dual-threat abilities were obviously a big selling point to his game coming out of college. There aren't many quarterbacks who can run a 4.43-second 40-yard dash while boasting a 6'4", 244-pound frame.

The Colts wasted little time in getting him involved as a ball-carrier. Entering Sunday, he had 131 yards and four touchdowns on 23 touches.

But Indianapolis also has to look at the big picture. Whenever he returns to the field, scaling back Richardson's usage a bit might be a sensible call.
