Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Anthony Richardson’s status with the team after being charged with a misdemeanor for marijuana possession has not changed.

26 October 2026

This is presumably good news for Richardson, who could be an injury or benching of Daniel Jones away from seeing his first action in 2026. Richardson was cited for marijuana possession earlier this month and said after Week 7’s loss to the Vikings that he doesn’t “really regret a lot of things I do” when asked about it after the game. Steichen said he had conversations with Richardson, which will remain private, but it sounds like his status as the Colts’ QB2 remains intact heading into Week 8.
