Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Friday that quarterback Anthony Richardson will start Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.
The second-year quarterback has missed the Colts’ last two games after suffering an oblique injury in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Joe Flacco intervened and Indianapolis lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars and defeated the Tennessee Titans.
Richardson, 22, has played in four games this season, throwing for 654 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown.
While the 3-3 Colts will get Richardson back, they will once again be without Jonathan Taylor. The running back hasn’t played or practiced since Week 4 after suffering a high ankle sprain and will miss his third straight game.
“Once they said high ankles, I knew high ankles are usually four to six [weeks]But you know, I, when I was dealing with different rehab treatments and injuries, I thought, ‘That can’t be possible,'” Taylor said Thursday. “I just have to do everything in my power to keep chopping that off every day.”
