Colts ‘evaluating’ Anthony Richardson’s status as QB1

Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen was non-committal when asked if quarterback Anthony Richardson will start in Week 9.”We’re evaluating everything,” Steichen said Monday as the Colts (4-4) began preparations for Sunday night’s road game against the Minnesota Vikings (5-2).Richardson completed only 10 of 32 passes (31.3 percent) for 175 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Sunday’s 23-20 loss to the host Houston Texans.During the third quarter, Richardson made the unusual move of taking himself out of the game in the middle of a Colts drive. He later explained that he needed a breather after scrambling on several plays.”Tired, I ain’t gonna lie,” said Richardson, 22. “That was a lot of running right there that I did. … So, I just told Shane that I needed a break right there.”
