In a matchup filled with uncertainty at the quarterback position and mounting losses for both teams, the Miami Dolphins (2-3) are set to face off against the Indianapolis Colts (3-3) on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Miami is coming off a bye week, but their star quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, remains in concussion protocol. The Dolphins have struggled on offense in Tua’s absence, scoring only 10, 3, 12, and 10 points in their last four games. On the other hand, the Colts have the 3rd worst defense in the NFL, which could potentially provide an opportunity for the struggling Dolphins.
Reports suggest that Indy’s starting quarterback, Anthony Richardson, who has been dealing with an oblique injury, could be back in action this week. However, with Richardson’s injury history and the uncertainty surrounding the health of key players like running back Jonathan Taylor and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., the Colts face a dilemma of whether to start the dynamic but inconsistent Richardson or the steady but less mobile Joe Flacco.
With key players’ availability in question, this game may not be the most appealing for bettors until the final lineups and injury reports are released on Sunday.
