AR to cleared for practice
Matt Zenitz
@mzenitz #Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has been cleared medically coming off his orbital fracture from Oct. 12 and the hope is to have him back practicing in the near future, sources tell @CBSSports |
Mike Chappell
@mchappell51 Colts’ Anthony Richardson Sr. cleared for football activities, but time for return is short |

Agreed! He will likely be carrying the starter label until DJ gets back on the field so unless Uncle Phil can starting hitting folks farther down the field, it may be worth throwing him into the fire right away.... Just sayin.....:eek: |

@JoelAErickson · 12m Shane Steichen: Philip Rivers will be the starting quarterback against San Francisco. On Richardson, Steichen says "he's cleared from the eye standpoint, but we're just starting to work him back in physically" |
Would like to see him start a game or two this year but having him sit and work with Rivers is also a great thing for the young man. Bringing it along slowly also seems wise.

Steichen doesn’t think he can win with AR. Or Leonard for that matter. We’re stuck with old man Rivers I’m afraid. |
I think if you ask every member of the team which Qb they have the most confidence in the overwhelming majority would be Rivers.
You could tell how much the team rallied around him. He gives them the best chance to make the playoffs. Once that very slim chance is gone I think they will do like they did Ryan and shut him down and play the younger guys. I know everyone wants to see the young guys, But for some of these guys on the team this is the closest they have ever been to a playoff bid. QB is way more cerebral than it is physical IMO. And Uncle Phil is way ahead of the rest. Qustion for all of you wanting. Riley or AR. Do any of you believe that either of them could audible into a better play than Rivers? Do you think either of them would even know to do it or have the clearance to do it? Would you all agree that the Pass/Run ratio wasvery different with Phil? IMO that is because he knows the offense as well if not better than Shane. It's like Manning running his offense. He knows it Also. Dose anyone remember when everyone was crying for Sam E over Ryan? That didn't work out at all. Because they are NOT ready And neither is Riley. Well we should try him and find out. I agree. After all hopes, even the slightest hopes, are eliminated |

@RomeovilleKid · 26m Got some clarity on this. #Colts QB Anthony Richardson Sr. (orbital fracture/IR) has been cleared for *physical activities* like weight lifting, running and throwing. However, to be cleared for *football activities* (like practice) he needs to be elevated off IR. |

Yesterday, this is essentially what I said right after the end of yesterday's heartbreaking game. This morning, I changed my mind and said that I think that we should instead go with Riley Leonard. I specifically said that I stand corrected. Can I change my mind back again, and say that I agree with Steichen's decision to start Rivers ??? Can I stand corrected of standing corrected in the first place ??? If I'm allowed to change my mind twice in a 24-hour period, then I say that I am glad that we are going with Philip Rivers. o |

I like Riley,but he is not ready. They never even gave it a thought really. They knew it that's when the questions was. What do we do now? What about Phil. It was neve no problem we have Riley. They have a ton of confidence in Phil to get them into the right situation. If Phile cant do 3 more games then that's that. BUt he has never missed a game in teh NFL ever. So maybe, maybe |
What's to lose? If Rivers by some miracle gets us into the playoffs and we get Buckner, Sauce and Ward back who the hell knows what could happen. Right now I wouldn't give us a shot in hell but if those three can come back and play like they can play this defense could be very very good. Could carry us.

I still think it is a huge mistake with Rivers. He may be more cerebral, hell he is 100 times more cerebral than anyone we have. He is also an anchor on this offense after watching yesterday. He took away one of our best downfield weapons. Pierce was useless. Not because he can't get open, we know he can, but Rivers can not get him the ball. So without having to defend anything over the top this can get ugly really fast. Riley doesn't have the on field experience, or the cerebral ability as Rivers, but he can get it downfield and can run when things breakdown around him. I hope I have to eat crow, but we know I won't.

Steichen said today that they didn’t bring Rivers in to sit on the bench. So he’s definitely starting the rest of the year. I’d say even if we’re mathematically eliminated, he will start.

I was/am an AR fan. But. He's lost all trust from this FO IMO So maybe they trade him for a player, a 4th rounder or whatever. Hell they may even release him |

From what I understand it’s cleared to workout basically, not cleared for football activities
|
Quote:
like sure, maybe it is healed up enough he can run around and lift weights but still a month out before he would be able to take hits. or maybe, more likely, the colts don't want to ever see him put on a uniform again. we could speculate all day about why that is. do they plan to trade him in the offseason and don't want him getting hurt again? was he not working hard in the meeting rooms while he has been out and they are just tired of it? no idea but it seems to me they are done. |
So with the 21 day window open, and him now back at practice as of today, is he the backup Monday night or is that Leonard?
|
He will get a broken jaw the first time he buckles up his chin strap.:rolleyes:

@HolderStephen · 3h Lots of confusion out there on the Anthony Richardson Sr. situation. The critical points are: 1) He returned to practice today 2) Won’t play Monday 3) He’s being evaluated to see if his play is impacted by vision etc 4) The fracture is healed https://x.com/HolderStephen/status/2...968611854?s=20 |
The Colts are being very Coltslike when being asked about AR's vision. Which leads me to believe that he's completely blind in that eye and will never see the field again (no pun intended) :cool:.

The Colts know if this is likely to be permanent. It all depends on the exact cause of his blurred vision, they somehow think that it benefits them to keep everything secret. It is pure bullshit but it makes them feel important I guess.
