Anthony Richardson injury update: Colts star goes to locker room after taking two big hits vs. Steelers
The Indianapolis Colts are taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 of the NFL season. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has been scrutinized this season because of his high turnover numbers.Â
Fans got a look at backup quarterback Joe Flacco in Week 4, but it wasn’t because of Richardson’s continued poor play. The dual-threat quarterback was injured after a big hit but returned for a play. He got popped again, and this play caused him to head to the locker room.Â
The Sporting News will bring you the latest updates on Richardson as the Colts look to big up a big AFC win over the Steelers in Week 4.Â

Anthony Richardson injury updatesRichardson is questionable to return with a hip injury. The first big hit that Richardson took caused the hip injury. You can see the quarterback on the ground, motioning toward his hip and wincing in pain. He left the field but was quick to return.Â

He made a late decision to give himself up, and Steelers defender Minkah Fitzpatrick tried to stop his hit but still made contact directly with Richardson’s helmet. The quarterback looks a little stunned, and he then gets up and leaves the field. Flacco takes back over as Richardson bypasses the blue medical tent and heads to the locker room.
I can’t believe the Colts coaches did this.
Anthony Richardson left the game with a hip injury, at the 5:30 mark. He returns, limping, 2 minutes later, and the very first play is a QB run!!
