Colts downgraded QB Anthony Richardson (back/foot) to out for Week 17 against the Giants.

28 December 2024

Richardson failed to practice in any capacity this week with reports surfacing Thursday of Joe Flacco had taken all the practice reps with the first team. This was a similar situation to how the team handled things earlier in the season, with Richardson being labeled questionable before downgraded to out on Saturday, seemingly in a nod to gamesmanship. Flacco starts for the fifth time this season after locking onto Josh Downs his first four games, feeding the talented slot receiver nine or more targets in each contest.
