Riley Leonard Injury History & Analysis

Colts QB Anthony Richardson attended practice Wednesday for the first time in a while. His IR status keeps him off the injury report for the week, but video shows him wearing a red, non-contact jersey. That indicates some level of participation. Richardson has been out since suffering an orbital-bone fracture (eye socket) before the Week 6 win over the Cardinals.

Colts QB Riley Leonard entered the game against the Jaguars in relief of Daniel Jones after he tore his Achilles. HC Shane Steichen revealed that Leonard himself is dealing with a knee injury making his status for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks uncertain. Steichen also commented that QB Anthony Richardson would not be activated this week, so practice squad QB Brett Rypien could become the Colts’ starter.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Colts QB Daniel Jones needs surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles. That ends Jones' season, puts his status for the start of the 2026 campaign in question, and leaves the Colts with a big problem at QB.
