Impact Steichen clarified that Richardson remains Indianapolis' starting quarterback as of Monday, per James Boyd of The Athletic, but it sounds like the coaching staff is evaluating at least a temporary shift under center for Week 9. Richardson's efficiency was miserable during the team's 23-20 loss to the Texans in Week 8, as he completed just 10 of 32 passes for 175 yards with one touchdown and an interception. The second-year pro added 45 rushing yards on six carries, but he also fumbled twice, losing one. Richardson's development as a passer hasn't lived up to expectations through six appearances this season, while Joe Flacco performed admirably in his three-game stretch under center from Week 4 through Week 6. Heading into a difficult Week 9 road matchup against Minnesota, it looks like the Colts' quarterback position needs to be considered 'up-in-the-air' until further notice.
