The Indianapolis Colts suffered a tough loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, but the news got worse for the team as it was revealed that wide receiver Anthony Richardson was injured during the game and will be out with a right shoulder injury.
Richardson, who was signed by the Colts in the offseason, had been a key part of the team’s offense this season. He had been playing well, catching 18 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns in the first five games of the season.
The injury occurred during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game when Richardson was tackled by Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro. He immediately grabbed his shoulder in pain and had to be helped off the field. After the game, Colts head coach Frank Reich confirmed that Richardson had suffered a shoulder injury and would be out for an indefinite amount of time.
The loss of Richardson is a big blow for the Colts, who are already without wide receiver Parris Campbell due to a knee injury. It remains to be seen how long Richardson will be out, but it could be a significant amount of time depending on the severity of the injury.
In the meantime, the Colts will have to rely on their other receivers to step up and fill the void left by Richardson. It’s a difficult situation for the team, but they will have to find a way to make up for his absence if they want to remain competitive in the AFC South.
The Colts will certainly be hoping for a speedy recovery for Richardson, but in the meantime they must focus on finding a way to win without him. It won’t be easy, but it’s something they must do if they want to stay in contention for the division title.
