This doesn’t really change much about the prognosis. He will still be monitored heavily throughout the week, and concussions vary from player to player in terms of recovery time.
Richardson still managed to make a major impact before he left. He was 6-of-10 passing for 56 yards while adding three carries for 35 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
We’ll see what happens throughout the week as the Colts prepare for the upcoming matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, but hopefully, this is a short-term injury.
