NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Indianapolis Colts are sitting second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson for a second straight game with an injured right hip.
The Colts (2-3) announced the fourth overall pick out of Florida in the 2023 draft as inactive Sunday against the Tennessee Titans (1-3). That means veteran Joe Flacco will start a second consecutive game.
Richardson was sidelined last week in the loss to Jacksonville. He was listed as questionable after practicing all week, though he was limited on both Wednesday and Thursday. Flacco, a former Super Bowl Most Valuable Player with the Ravens, completed 33 of 44 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns in last week’s loss to the Jaguars.
The Colts already had declared Jonathan Taylor out for a second straight week with an ankle sidelining the NFL’s 2021 rushing champ.
Indianapolis will have Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly back from the neck injury that kept him out against the Jaguars. The Colts also will have starting defensive end Kwity Paye (quadricep) and Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore II (hip) back as well after they missed last week.
