Anthony Richardson Undergoes Orbital Fracture Surgery, Potential Return by Week 12

Anthony Richardson, the Indianapolis Colts' No. 4 overall pick from 2023, underwent surgery on Monday to repair an orbital fracture he sustained during pregame stretching in Week 6. The quarterback was subsequently placed on injured reserve. While there's a chance he could return this season, the earliest he would be eligible is Week 12, having already missed four games. Richardson had made only two brief appearances this season in relief of starting quarterback Daniel Jones, with Riley Leonard now serving as the club's backup during his absence.
