Starting running back Travis Etienne Jr. suffered a shoulder injury against Houston Sunday but returned and finished the game, rushing for 50 yards and adding 10 yards receiving.

Analysis: All eyes were on starting quarterback Anthony Richardson entering the week after he suffered a hip injury against Pittsburgh on Sunday. He participated in individual drills but was not expected to take part in team drills, per Stephen Holder of ESPN.
Ok, here’s the deal on Colts QB Anthony Richardson. He is, in fact, here at practice. But he will likely not do full team drills. That would explain him saying earlier that he was not practicing. He’ll presumably be listed as “limited” on the injury report. pic.twitter.com/kRGb3OUl3Q
