According to ESPN’s Stephen Holder, Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Anthony Richardson is ‘extremely optimistic’ about playing in Week 6 on the road against the AFC South rival Tennessee Titans:
Regarding Colts QB Anthony Richardson: His status was never really a game-time decision. Him moving effectively and being himself was really the question, I'm told. But there's been significant improvement in his oblique and he is extremely optimistic about playing in Week 6.

Richardson sat out this past weekend’s loss against another divisional rival, the Jacksonville Jaguars, due to a hip/oblique injury suffered in Week 4—but was seen conducting limited pre-game warmup work before kickoff on Sunday, meaning he’s realistically close to returning to the football field.
