Injury not long-term Richardson's oblique injury should not keep him out long-term, Fox's Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.
Out Week 5, injury not long term Richardson is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, but his oblique strain isn't considered a long-term concern, and the Colts are hopeful that he can return for the team...
Impact Joe Flacco will get the start Week 5 after he came on in relief of Richardson in last Sunday's win over the Steelers when the latter went down with his oblique strain. Richardson was a limited participant in practice throughout Week 5, so if he's able to resume practicing in full at some point next week, he should be cleared to reclaim the starting role next Sunday at Tennessee.

Inactive for Week 5 Richardson (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Impact Richardson's absence for Week 5 was expected after he suffered an oblique strain in the Colts' Week 4 win over the Steelers and was subsequently a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday before taking a questionable tag into the weekend and then getting downgraded to doubtful Saturday. With Richardson getting at least one game off to tend to his injury, Joe Flacco will step in as the Colts' starting quarterback while usual No. 3 signal-caller Sam Ehlinger slides into the backup role.

Downgraded to doubtful Richardson (oblique) was downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Impact Richardson was listed as a limited participant in practice all week, but that appeared to be a bit of gamesmanship by the Colts given the second-year quarterback ceded the majority of the first-team reps to Joe Flacco throughout practice. The longtime veteran immediately turned around a flailing passing attack Week 4 against the Steelers, and should the weather conditions remain neutral, Flacco could be poised for an excellent fantasy day against the Jaguars in the anticipated absence of Richardson.

Now doubtful for Week 5 The Colts downgraded Richardson (oblique) from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Impact Richardson was listed as a limited participant in practice all week, but the second-year quarterback ceded the majority of the first-team reps to Joe Flacco throughout those sessions. Given his lack of extensive reps this week, Richardson looks on track to sit out Sunday, which will put Flacco in line for his first start of the season while Sam Ehlinger steps in as the top backup. The Colts will wait and see if Richardson can make enough progress in his recovery from the oblique strain during Week 6 prep to see if he can make his return to the lineup next Sunday at Tennessee.

Questionable for Sunday Richardson (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after practicing in a limited capacity this week, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Richardson logged just 13 snaps in the Colts' Week 4 win over the Steelers before his first-quarter exit from the contest. He was replaced by veteran QB Joe Flacco, who Boyd notes took the majority of the team's first-team reps in practice this week. With that in mind, it remains to be seen if Richardson will be available to start this weekend. Look for added context on that topic to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday from national reporters such as ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Stays limited in practice Richardson (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact According to Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star, Richardson didn't appear to perform extensive work during the portion of practice that was open to the media, with the quarterback throwing a small number of low-effort passes. Notably, Atkins adds that Joe Flacco was first in line for reps under center, perhaps suggesting that the veteran is trending toward starting Sunday's game in Jacksonville at this stage of the week while Richardson manages an oblique strain. Richardson has now turned in a pair of limited practices to begin Week 5 prep, and while he hasn't been ruled out from starting Sunday, the Colts may want to see him ratchet up the intensity of his activity in Friday's practice before potentially clearing him to play.

Impact After initial reports suggested that Richardson wouldn't practice, the QB logged a limited session after all. Additionally, the nature of the injury he is dealing with has been clarified ahead of Week 5 action. Richardson now has two more chances to upgrade to full practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, with his ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday representing an encouraging sign regarding his status.
