Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has been downgraded to doubtful for the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to an oblique injury sustained in the previous week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Veteran backup Joe Flacco is expected to start in Richardson's place, having performed well in relief last week. The Colts are also dealing with multiple injuries, including star running back Jonathan Taylor, who has been ruled out for the game.
- Richardson's injury raises concerns about his durability as he has missed 13 of 21 games since being drafted.
- Flacco's experience and preparation may help the Colts maintain competitiveness despite injuries.
