Colts' Michael Pittman Jr. Learned of Anthony Richardson's Benching on Social Media

When Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen made the decision to bench Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco, he apparently didn't inform everyone on the team ahead of time.

Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. told reporters he found out about the change on social media.

As for why the change was made, Richardson said that Steichen didn't give him a specific reason.

Steichen confirmed on Wednesday that Flacco will take over as the Colts starter going forward, but they still believe in Richardson's ability to play in the NFL.
