On more than one occasion in his rookie debut, Colts’ quarterback Anthony Richardson was noticeably hurt after getting tackled when he chose to run the football. Somehow, this topic has been largely glossed over in this week’s game coverage.
In the first quarter, after a 12-yard run, Richardson returned to the huddle limping. The good news? The drive led to a touchdown, capped off by a Richardson 2-yard run. But the Jaguars' defense noticed, and there is no way to know how much he was impacted by that initial injury for the rest of the game.
On the final drive, Richardson was trying to get the Colts back into the end zone for an opportunity to cut into the lead.
