Anthony Richardson Sr.’s preseason shock: Mysterious finger injury sparks questions after brutal sack hit

On Richardson’s first dropback of the Colts’ second series, he never saw Baltimore Ravens linebacker David Ojabo blitzing him from his right. Ojabo blasted Richardson for the sack. Richardson got up slow, and went to the sideline with what the team later called a finger injury. Colts coach Shane Steichen told Larra Overton with the team’s site that it was a dislocated finger, that “it popped out, popped back in,” but didn’t have a timetable for his recovery, via Joel Erickson of the Indianapolis Star.Richardson’s first series wasn’t anything special. He completed his first pass under pressure to Adonai Mitchell, though Mitchell had to come back for it and make a diving grab. A completion on a quick screen to rookie tight end Tyler Warren came back due to a penalty for an offensive lineman being an ineligible man downfield, then Richardson hit an easy short throw to Warren over the middle. Needing a completion to keep the drive going, Richardson threw a little late and behind his receiver downfield and it was broken up. Indianapolis settled for a field goal.
