Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen isn't ready to rule Anthony Richardson out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants despite his absence from this week's practice with back and foot injuries.
"He was just sore all week," Steichen said on Friday, per ESPN's Stephen Holder.
Richardson appeared to sit out a third straight practice on Friday.
Holder reported on Thursday that the Colts were "optimistic about Richardson playing on Sunday," but that his "performance in Friday's practice would be critical."
Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco will receive his fifth start of the season if Richardson is unable to return.
