Unfortunately for the Indianapolis Colts, 2023 first-round pick Anthony Richardson suffered an injury early on in the season and he's been out for quite some time. With Richardson sidelined, Joe Flacco has stepped in to run the offense.

Things have gone pretty solid for Flacco, as he has helped the Colts post a 3-3 record, including a 20-17 road victory over the Titans in Week 6. Come this weekend, though, the expectation is that Richardson will be healthy enough to start.

Yup, it's looking like it will be back to the bench for Flacco. The Colts believe Richardson is their QB of the future, so it makes sense they want to put the ball back in his hands. He'll take on a banged up Miami defense in his return too.
