Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has been ruled out of the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a hip injury. Richardson initially left the game after sustaining the injury from a legal hit by Minkah Fitzpatrick and was seen heading to the locker room. Despite briefly returning to the sidelines and attempting to test his hip, the Colts decided not to risk further injury and ruled him out. Joe Flacco stepped in as the replacement quarterback and immediately made an impact, throwing a touchdown pass to Josh Downs. The Colts are leading the game 17-0. Richardson had a conversation with head coach Shane Steichen before being ruled out.
