Anthony Richardson suffered an injury on Sunday, before the Colts faced the Cardinals. Now we're learning the scary details surrounding what happened.
Like teammate Charvarius Ward, Richardson suffered a freak injury before Sunday's game, which left him unable to suit up. ESPN's Stephen Holder is reporting that the 23-year-old backup quarterback was doing warmups with elastic bands when the apparatus he was using "malfunctioned" and the bands hit him in the face. The incident was so bad that Richardson had to be hospitalized.
From the report:
That's really scary.
After the game NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Richardson suffered an orbital fracture and was in the hospital for the entire game, which the Colts won, 31-27.
Riley Leonard is serving as the team's backup quarterback behind starter Daniel Jones on Sunday.
Ward similarly suffered a scary injury while warming up, as he collided with tight end Drew Ogletree as they both warmed up on the field. The Pro Bowl cornerback is being held out of the game due to a concussion.
