The Indianapolis Colts are on the brink of a quarterback change as they prepare to welcome back Anthony Richardson to the starting lineup after a brief hiatus due to injury. The excitement around Richardson’s return is palpable, especially after the memorable performance by Joe Flacco in his absence.
Coach Shane Steichen confirmed the news, stating, “Anthony Richardson is set to return against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.” This announcement comes after Flacco’s impressive run, which saw him lead the Colts to a victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers and nearly stage a comeback against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Flacco’s heroic efforts did not go unnoticed, as he racked up a total of 716 yards passing, seven touchdowns, and just one interception during his time as the starter. However, with Richardson back in the mix, the Colts are looking to their young quarterback to continue his development and lead the team to success.
Prior to his injury, Richardson had shown promise with 654 passing yards, three touchdowns, and six interceptions, along with 121 rushing yards and a touchdown. Despite his setbacks, the 22-year-old is eager to prove himself and make up for lost time after missing a significant portion of the 2023 season due to injury.
As the Colts gear up to face the Dolphins, all eyes will be on Richardson as he looks to make a triumphant return and lead his team to victory. Fans are eagerly anticipating his comeback, and with his talent and determination, the Colts are hopeful that Richardson can stay on the field and guide them to a successful season.
