Anthony Richardson - Injury not long-term Richardson's oblique injury should not keep him out long-term, Fox's Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.
Anthony Richardson - 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.

Ryan Kelly - Officially inactive for Week 5 Kelly (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Impact As expected, Kelly has been downgraded from doubtful to out after not practicing during Week 5 prep. In Kelly's absence, Tanor Bortolini will likely start at center again after making his first career NFL start last week versus the Steelers.

Joe Flacco - Draws start with Richardson out Flacco will start Sunday's game against the Jaguars with Anthony Richardson (oblique) inactive for the contest, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Impact The starting assignment was fully expected after Flacco took most of the first-team reps during practice this week while Richardson was listed as a limited participant in sessions Wednesday through Friday due to the oblique strain he sustained in last week's 27-24 win over the Steelers. Upon entering the Week 4 game in relief of Richardson on the Colts' second drive, Flacco completed 16 of 26 pass attempts for 168 yards and two touchdowns. With Richardson and top running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) both sitting out Sunday, the Colts could rely more heavily on the Flacco-led passing attack, which could increase the viability of receivers Michael Pittman and Josh Downs as fantasy options in Week 5.

Samuel Womack III - Active versus Jacksonville Womack (illness) is active for Sunday's game versus Jacksonville.
Impact Womack was a late addition to the injury report on Saturday, but he's evidently feeling healthy enough to play Sunday. After playing zero defensive snaps in Week 1, Womack has started each of the last three games, seeing a season-high 80 percent snap share in Week 4. Womack has three tackles (two solo) and two pass breakups on the year.

Anthony Richardson - 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.

Joe Flacco - Primed for start Flacco appears to be in position to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars after the Colts announced Anthony Richardson (oblique) is now listed as doubtful for the matchup.
Impact It speaks volumes to Richardson's struggles this year that Flacco was able to immediately jumpstart the passing attack, specifically for Michael Pittman, after seeing it struggle significantly through the previous three weeks. That the veteran's success came at the expense of what had been one of the league's best defenses in Pittsburgh is all the more surprising. There's expected to be another storm cell hitting the state of Florida in the coming days, but provided the weather is able to hold off Sunday, Flacco appears poised to have another excellent fantasy outing against a Jaguars defense that's allowed the third-most passing yards in 2024.

Joe Flacco - Primed for Week 5 start Flacco appears to be in position to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars after the Colts announced Anthony Richardson (oblique) is now listed as doubtful for the matchup.
Impact When Richardson exited Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers during the Colts' second offensive drive, Flacco stepped in to complete 16 of 26 pass attempts for 168 yards and two touchdowns. Flacco's steady hand in directing the offense was even more impressive by the fact that he was able to pick apart one of the league's best defenses in Pittsburgh. With Richardson managing nothing more than limited participation in practice this week, Flacco should be set up well to deliver a useful fantasy outing against a Jaguars defense that's allowed the third-most passing yards in 2024.

Ryan Kelly - Downgraded to doubtful for Week 5 Kelly (neck) is now listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Impact Despite missing all three practices this week, Kelly was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup. However, it appears that the veteran center will be held out for a second-straight week due to a neck injury. If Kelly is inactive, Tanor Bortolini would be the starting center for the Colts.

Impact Womack was added to the Colts' injury report Saturday and appears to be under the weather ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. If Womack cannot play, Dallis Flowers would be slated to start at corner opposite Jaylon Jones while David Long -- who was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday -- would provide depth in the secondary.

Anthony Richardson - 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.

Anthony 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.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Evan Hull - Elevated to active roster Hull was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
Impact The assumption is that Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson will operate in a platoon to replace the injured Jonathan Taylor (ankle), but it was Hull, a 2023 fifth-round pick that actually opened as the starting running back in 2023 with Taylor sidelined, only to suffer what became a season-ending knee injury a few plays into his rookie campaign. Hull then put together a solid preseason, but still ultimately was waived in favor of Sermon and Goodson. Fantasy managers should take the Colts at their word when it comes to the running back depth chart, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the second-year pro emerge as an option given Hull's success in a relatively difficult Northwestern offense (1,922 rushing yards across 417 carries in his final two collegiate years).
