Anthony Richardson has been reinstated as the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Shane Steichen made the announcement that Richardson will lead the team in their Week 11 matchup against the New York Jets, marking his return just two weeks after veteran Joe Flacco took over the starting role.
During Richardson's time away, Joe Flacco struggled to find success, throwing two touchdown passes while being intercepted four times across consecutive losses. As a result, the Colts' record has dipped to 4-6, prompting the coaching staff to make changes and return to Richardson as the focal point of the offense for the remainder of the 2024 season.
Steichen's decision reflects a commitment to develop Richardson, who had previously demonstrated potential as a key player for the Colts. The upcoming game against the Jets will be crucial for both Richardson and the team as they look to regain momentum in the season and improve their standing.
