Anthony Richardson's dislocated finger suffered in the Indianapolis Colts' preseason opener on Thursday won't prevent him from getting right back into the quarterback competition with Daniel Jones.

Anthony Richardson’s preseason opener was cut short early, and the Indianapolis Colts went on to lose 24-16 to the Baltimore Ravens.

While Richardson’s rapid return is a promising sign for him, the Colts may have actually benefited from a longer absence. Without him and Jones splitting practice reps, head coach Shane Steichen can have an extended period of work with Jones and truly feel out whether or not he can be a strong fit in the offense.
