Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson injured his right shoulder in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the visiting Tennessee Titans and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Richardson, 21, fell on his right shoulder after being tackled by Titans linebacker Harold Landry III. Richardson, who completed 9 of 12 passes for 98 yards, went to the blue medical tent before going to the locker room. He was replaced by Gardner Minshew.
Richardson was to have an MRI scan on his shoulder, but the initial belief is that he has a sprained AC joint, ESPN reported, citing an unnamed source.
The fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft out of Florida, Richardson missed Week 3 after sustaining a concussion the previous week against the Houston Texans. He briefly came out of the Colts’ season opener with a lower-body injury late in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Minshew came on to go 11-of-14 passing for 155 yards in Indianapolis’ 23-16 victory. Neither Richardson nor Minshew threw a touchdown pass or an interception.
The Colts are tied with the Jaguars at 3-2 atop the AFC South, and the teams will meet next Sunday in Jacksonville.
