Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is Charles Langstonout of the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4.

Richardson took a hit in the red zone near the end of the first quarter that left him grabbing at his left hip area. He initially exited the game for only a couple of plays. On his first play back on the field, he took another hit on a quarterback run and was slow to get up. The second-year quarterback headed to the locker room after exiting the game following a second hard hit.

Indianapolis had initially listed Richardson as questionable to return with a hip injury. With 10 minutes left in the first half, the Colts have declared him out for the remainder of the game.

The gunslinger has had bad injury luck through the first few games of his NFL career. During his rookie season in 2023, Richardson suffered a concussion in Week 2 and a season-ending AC joint sprain in Week 5.

Anthony Richardson injury update

Richardson went to the locker room during the first quarter against the Steelers after taking a hit on a quarterback run. The departure came two plays after a temporary exit following a hit three plays earlier that saw the second-year gunslinger grabbing at his hip.

The Colts have declared Richardson out of the remainder of the game with 10 minutes remaining in the first half.

Indianapolis believes its quarterback suffered a "hip pointer" during the 27-24 win over the Steelers. The injury is characterized by "a bruise near the top curve of the hip bone," according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).

UPMC also says the primary treatments of the injury are rest, ice and compression.

The Colts have hope that Richardson misses little or no time with the hip pointer injury, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. He will be evaluated throughout the week.
