In Jacksonville, Florida, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson was sidelined due to a hip injury during a game against the Jaguars. This marks the 14th game he has missed over the past two seasons, highlighting his ongoing struggles with injuries. Richardson had previously exited the Colts' victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers after sustaining a hard hit to his right hip during a designed run, and he was forced to leave again shortly after. In addition to Richardson, the Colts faced further challenges as they were also without running back Jonathan Taylor and center Ryan Kelly for this matchup. Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, who is 39 years old, stepped in to make his first start of the season against the Jaguars, who were still seeking their first win of the year, holding a record of 0-4. The Colts, with a record of 2-2, aimed to maintain their competitive standing despite the absence of key players.
