Richardson exited last Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans early in the second quarter to be evaluated. The team later announced he was out with a concussion.
Richardson ran for two touchdowns in the first quarter to help the Colts build a 14-7 lead. He went to the medical tent after a drive to start the second quarter and was soon escorted to the locker room.
Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the draft, was 6 of 10 for 56 yards passing. His touchdown runs were for 18 and 15 yards.
Minshew took Richardson’s place and led the team to a 31-20 win. He went 19 of 23 for 171 yards and threw a touchdown.
