Won't start against Titans Joe Flacco will start Sunday at Tennessee and Richardson (oblique) will serve as the No. 3 QB, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact After sitting out the Colts' Week 5 loss to the Jaguars with an oblique strain, Richardson sandwiched a pair of limited practices around a full session Thursday and was listed as questionable on the injury report. However, the Colts must want to wait one more week for him to return to action.

Plans to play Sunday Richardson (oblique) is expected to suit up for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against Tennessee, Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reports.
Impact Richardson entered the weekend deemed questionable due to an oblique strain, but it appears he'll try to play through the injury and make his return after sitting out Week 5 against Jacksonville and playing just 13 offensive snaps Week 4 versus Pittsburgh. The young quarterback could have his two top pass-catching options, as WRs Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) have a good chance of suiting up as well, per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Joe Flacco, who has taken over as Indianapolis' signal-caller in Richardson's absence, will likely return to a backup role if Richardson is indeed able to play Sunday.

Limited Friday, questionable for Sunday Richardson (oblique) was limited at Friday's practice and officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Tennessee.
Impact Richardson seemingly was in the clear to return to action for the first time since Week 4 after managing a full practice Thursday. Despite being limited both Wednesday and Friday, he was spotted throwing on the run and otherwise looking like himself throughout the week, which wasn't the case last week, per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Richardson also took a majority of the reps with the Colts' first-team offense, but coach Shane Steichen said Friday that the second-year quarterback will be a game-time decision this weekend, per JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site. As a result, Richardson's status bears watching to see if he or veteran backup Joe Flacco will be under center following Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Game-time decision this week Per coach Shane Steichen, Richardson (oblique) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans and is considered a game-time decision for the contest, JJ Stanke...
Impact Richardson practiced in full Thursday, but he's still slated to carry a Week 6 injury designation. His status is thus worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, with added context on that front likely to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday via NFL national reporters like ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. If the Colts elect to exercise caution with Richardson this weekend, veteran Joe Flacco would be next in line for the team's start at QB versus Tennessee.

Full practice participant Richardson (oblique) was a full practice participant Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Richardson is thus set to return for Sunday's game against the Titans after missing just one week. Multiple Indianapolis beat reporters said he looked healthy during Thursday's practice, but it is possible Richardson's continued struggles staying healthy make coach Shane Steichen hesitant to use him as a runner -- an aspect that's already been somewhat disappointing for fantasy managers with Richardson averaging 5.3 carries for 35.3 yards per game.

Looking god at practice Richardson (oblique) looked "pretty spry" during Thursday's practice, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis.
Impact James Boyd of The Athletic agrees, even saying he'd be surprised if Richardson didn't play this Sunday against the Titans. Richardson may ultimately be listed as a limited practice participant again, but he's clearly making progress and should at least be back for Week 7 if he doesn't quite get the green light this weekend.

Remains limited in practice Richardson (oblique) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Impact Richardson was a limited participant all last week, with reports suggesting he didn't do much and didn't appear likely to play The Colts listed him as questionable on the Friday injury report, before downgrading him to doubtful and ultimately deeming him inactive. Richardson said Wednesday that he was never close to playing in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, but he did manage a pre-game workout and now has a real shot to play this coming Sunday against the Titans, per Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star. Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Richardson will be the starting QB as soon as he's healthy, even though the offense has performed well under the guidance of veteran Joe Flacco.

Set to practice Wednesday Richardson (oblique) is slated to practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Richardson was a limited practice participant last week prior to being deemed inactive for the Colts' Week 5 loss to the Jaguars, which was started by Joe Flacco. The team's upcoming injury report will reveal whether Richardson is able to upgrade his participation level, but either way, coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Richardson will reclaim the team's starting QB role when he's healthy enough to play.

Set to practice Wednesday Richardson (oblique) is slated to practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Richardson was listed as a limited practice participant all of last week prior to being deemed inactive ahead of the Colts' 37-34 loss to the Jaguars, with Joe Flacco picking up the start in his stead. The team's first Week 6 injury report will be released later Wednesday and will reveal whether Richardson is able to upgrade his participation level. In any case, head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Richardson will reclaim starting duties for the Colts once healthy enough to play, per James Boyd of The Athletic.

Will start again when healthy Coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Richardson (oblique) "is our starting quarterback" when he returns to full health, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Richardson took a big hit to his midsection during a Week 4 win against the Steelers and has been sidelined since. Veteran backup Joe Flacco has fared well in his place, completing 49 of 70 passes for 527 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions over the course of seven-and-a-half quarters. The good play won't equate to further starts for Flacco once Richardson is healthy, but it does give the Colts the luxury of not rushing the second-year pro back into action. He'll likely need to bump up his activity level this week in order to have a chance of suiting up this coming Sunday at Tennessee.

Will start again when healthy Coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Richardson (oblique) "is our starting quarterback" when he returns to full health, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Richardson took a big hit to his midsection during a Week 4 win against the Steelers that has sidelined him in the meantime. Veteran backup Joe Flacco has fared well since then, completing 49 of 70 passes for 527 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions over the course of seven-and-a-half quarters. The good play won't equate to further starts for Flacco once Richardson is good to go, but the second-year pro likely will need to bump up his activity level this week from the trio of limited practices he managed last week in order to suit up again this coming Sunday at Tennessee.
