Colts' Anthony Richardson set to start against Dolphins after coach praises his performance
u/alex •
Colts QB Anthony Richardson set to return against the Dolphins.
Why it matters: Richardson's return brings stability and playmaking ability back to the Colts' offense.
Richardson's absence allowed Joe Flacco to start the previous two games, but the team is eager to have their starting quarterback back on the field.
- Shane Steichen on Richardson's performance in practice: "He looked good. He was throwing crisp passes, he was right in the pocket, got out, moved him around, ran a lot. So, he looked really good."
What's new: Jonathan Taylor will be out for another game due to a high ankle sprain, but his return is imminent.
Yes, but: The Colts have struggled to run the ball without both Richardson and Taylor, averaging just 90 rushing yards in the past two games compared to 132 yards in the first four weeks.
What to watch: Keep an eye on how Richardson's return impacts the Colts' offensive production, particularly in the running game.
What's next: With Richardson back in the lineup, the Colts hope to regain their offensive rhythm and improve their ground attack.
- Shane Steichen on Jonathan Taylor's status: "He's very close."
The bottom line: Richardson's return provides a boost to the Colts' offense, but they still need to find a way to generate more rushing yards in Taylor's absence.
