There aren't many worse ways that the preseason could have realistically started for the Indianapolis Colts in their 24-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. To get the elephant in the room out of the way, yes, Anthony Richardson having half of his pinky nearly bent at a right angle is what is being alluded to here.
Luckily for the young gunslinger, it has been confirmed to just be a dislocation and not a full break, but the injury does nothing to alleviate concerns of him being made of glass.
While the preseason isn't traditionally looked at as an essential part of the football cycle for most teams, the Colts this year were the exception.
