Anthony Richardson has not had the easiest of careers so far. Besides his inconsistency when he has been able to play, he hasn't been healthy at most other times. In 2025, the Indianapolis Colts benched Richardson in favor of Daniel Jones, and AR5 still couldn't avoid injury.
His latest was his unluckiest. In the locker room before the Colts played the Arizona Cardinals on October 12, Richardson was using an exercise band when the bar on the band broke, which then hit the quarterback in the face. Richardson broke an orbital bone in the incident.
He initially suffered blurriness and was advised by doctors to rest the injury after he had surgery to hopefully repair the break.
