WESTFIELD, Ind. – Anthony Richardson Sr. fully participated in the Colts' training camp practice on Saturday at Grand Park two days after dislocating his pinkie against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Colts focused on red zone work during their hour-long practice, and Richardson – as has been the case throughout training camp – rotated with Daniel Jones between the first- and second-team offense. Richardson's pinkie was taped, but there wasn't a noticeable impact on the velocity of his throws throughout practice.
Richardson sustained a dislocated pinkie when he was sacked by Ravens outside linebacker David Ojabo on the Colts' seventh offensive snap of their preseason opener. Richardson immediately went to the sideline, and after having his finger popped back in, he tried throwing a few times before the Colts ruled him out for the remainder of the game.
After the game, Richardson took responsibility for the sack, saying he should've thrown hot once the pressured he expected didn't come.
"He's hit it before — it's not something he's never hit in his life," quarterbacks coach Cam Turner. But every play's a learning (opportunity) whether it's Year 2, Year 3, Year 8, you're learning from every single play. And it's a good reminder, no matter if it's a base install play, you have rules that you have to follow and you have responsibilities, and I think that's a good reminder."
Jones stepped in and played the remainder of the first half. The Colts' initial plan was to have Richardson start and play a quarter and a half on Thursday, and then Jones to start and play a quarter and a half next Saturday against the Green Bay Packers.
We'll hear from Steichen on Sunday to get word on if the Colts' plan for the Packers game will change after Jones played 31 snaps against the Ravens in relief of Richardson.
