Reports: Colts QB Anthony Richardson (hip) day-to-day

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is considered day-to-day with a hip pointer and not expected to miss time, according to multiple reports.

Richardson injured his right hip in the first quarter of a 27-24 home win against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Veteran Joe Flacco replaced Richardson and completed 16 of 26 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns to preserve the victory.

Richardson was hit on a 14-yard run by DeShon Elliot, sending the quarterback to the ground and dislodging the ball. The Colts recovered the fumble but Richardson left for two plays.

Flacco threw a 10-yard completion, then handed off to Jonathan Taylor for 13 yards before Richardson returned to the game. On the Colts' first play, Richardson ran to his left and went to the ground after 1 yard, without contact. As he went to the ground, Steelers defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick and linebacker T.J. Watt hit the quarterback, but no penalty was called. Richardson reached for his right hip and then walked off the field on his own power.

"He felt good to go back in, ran the play and then felt it more after that next play," Colts coach Shane Steichen said of his quarterback after the game.

Richardson went into the locker room for further medical examination and was eventually ruled out for the rest of the day. NFL Network reported that Richardson's initial diagnosis was a hip pointer.

"I'm feeling a little sore, but feeling good we got the W," Richardson said. "I think I'm going to be good."

Richardson said he told Steichen he could return after going down the first time, but he "tried to accelerate and couldn't push off like I wanted to."

The Colts play consecutive games on the road against winless division opponents with a visit to Jacksonville (0-4) in Week 5, then Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans (0-3).
