Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson ruled out for Week 3 vs. Ravens
The Indianapolis Colts seem to have found a gem in the form of Anthony Richardson. The rookie quarterback has exceeded expectations as the team’s starter during the first two weeks of the 2023 NFL season. Richardson was thought to be the biggest risk among the incoming rookie quarterbacks but has played really well thus far.
Unfortunately, Richardson went down with a concussion in Week 2 against the Houston Texans after scoring two rushing touchdowns. He was ruled out for the rest of the game and now will miss Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN.

In his first two games in the NFL, Richardson has rushed for three touchdowns while throwing for 279 yards and a touchdown with one interception.
Although he’s still raw, Richardson has shown a lot of promise as a star in the making for the Colts as the team may have finally found a new franchise quarterback.
