"The Indianapolis Colts are sticking with Daniel Jones despite the left fibula fracture the quarterback has played with the past two games. But even if they weren't inclined to keep Jones as their starter, the Colts' options are limited. Anthony Richardson Sr., their 2023 fourth overall draft pick, remains on injured reserve and still is not cleared for football-related activities after sustaining an orbital fracture in his face in a freak pregame incident in October, coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday."
"Richardson's vision was temporarily impaired by the injury because of swelling and the resulting surgery that was required, leaving him with some blurriness in one eye that is now clearing, a source told ESPN. There was initially serious concern about Richardson's eye in the immediate aftermath of the injury, multiple sources have said, with Richardson rushed to the hospital by paramedics. But he ultimately avoided damage to the eye and has come a long way since those initial days."
The Colts are retaining Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback despite a left fibula fracture that he has played with the past two games. Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve after suffering an orbital fracture during a pregame incident in October and is not yet cleared for football-related activities. Richardson's vision was temporarily impaired by swelling and surgery, causing blurriness in one eye that is now improving. Medical staff are monitoring his vision and pursuing clearance; a return before the end of the season remains possible. Richardson was taken to the hospital by paramedics amid initial concern but avoided lasting eye damage. Full vision in the affected eye is required before any return to play.
