QB Anthony Richardson was not at the Colts’ game today against the Arizona Cardinals. That’s as the second-year, now backup quarterback had to go to the hospital after a bizarre incident in pregame.
After the 31-27 win for Indianapolis this afternoon, Shane Steichen told the media Richardson was hospitalized during the game. An elastic band snapped on him during warmups, which caused an orbital fracture that led to him leaving the arena and being a late designation as out today.
“AR, he got an eye – he got an orbital fracture, eye fracture in pregame warmup doing band work,” Steichen said to start his postgame press conference. “It was very interesting, to say the least. It was. We had to kind of rally the troops there in the locker room and get us back into focus, and I thought our guys did that the right way. And, just obviously hope AR is good.”
Steichen did not have many more specifics or details immediately following the game. He just confirmed that he did go to the hospital and that he didn’t know what kind of timeline that injury would take specifically recovery-wise.
