What's Happening?
The Indianapolis Colts announced that quarterback Anthony Richardson and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell are inactive for their game against the Arizona Cardinals. Richardson suffered an eye injury during warmups, leading to his deactivation. Riley Leonard will serve as the backup quarterback to Daniel Jones. Adonai Mitchell, who was not listed on the injury report, is also inactive, following a recent drop in performance. Mitchell's absence is speculated to be due to disciplinary reasons, as he has seen limited playtime in recent weeks.
Why It's Important?
The absence of Anthony Richardson and Adonai Mitchell could impact the Colts' offensive strategy against the Cardinals. Richardson's injury removes a key player from the lineup, potentially affecting the team's quarterback depth and performance. Mitchell's inactivity suggests internal team dynamics and disciplinary actions that could influence team morale and cohesion. The Colts will need to rely on their remaining players to fill the gaps and maintain competitive performance in the game.
