Colts backup quarterback Anthony Richardson did not participate in practice on Wednesday. He was present on the field but observed without pads, as starting QB Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard conducted drills. Richardson, the 2023 No. 4 draft pick, missed significant time last season due to a fractured orbital bone and vision issues. He has faced numerous injuries throughout his career, and should he be unable to play against the Chiefs on Sunday evening, Leonard would likely step up as the backup. The Colts are currently on an eight-game losing streak, the longest in the league.
