Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson gave insight into his Week 7 status against the Miami Dolphins.
Last week, Richardson practiced in full on Thursday, signaling a possible return. However, Richardson was still experiencing some discomfort, and the Colts decided to hold him out again against the, it seems the time has finally come for Richardson to return to action. Head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday that unless there is a setback, Richardson will be ready to go on Sunday.
Steichen also mentioned one of the reasons the Colts held out Richardson last week was the second-year player was not 100%. Steichen's comment drew some ire from fans and media alike, as football players are rarely 100%. While the Colts' head coach further explained the team is trying to ensure Richardson is as healthy as possible throughout the long season, Richardson acknowledged that everyone is always battling an injury of some sort.
The work ethic of Richardson has been evident from the very beginning. However, Richardson is still working to find the best routine for himself throughout the week so he is as prepared and confident as possible heading into the game.
Richardson played relaxed and at a slower pace because of his preparation during that week. He was confident in the game plan and what he saw on the field. Richardson is taking that same approach this week. Richardson will need to be on point against a Dolphins defense that allows only 159.6 yards per game through the air, the third-best mark in the NFL. The Dolphins will test Richardson with different looks to keep the young quarterback guessing. It is just another reason why Richardson's preparation will be so crucial to the team's success on Sunday.
