Colts QB Richardson ruled out for rest of game; being evaluated for concussion

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson was taken to the locker room early in the second quarter Sunday against the Houston Texans and has been ruled out with a concussion, according to the team.

Richardson ran for two touchdowns in the first quarter to help the Colts build a 14-7 lead. He went to the medical tent after a drive to start the second quarter and was soon escorted to the locker room.

It was unclear when he was injured, but he left after a series in which he didn't appear to take any big hits.

Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, was 6 of 10 for 56 yards passing. His touchdown runs were for 18 and 15 yards.

He was replaced by Gardner Minshew.
