For the second week in a row, the Rams’ opposing team has questions at quarterback. Last week, Joe Burrow was questionable to play against Los Angeles on Monday night but he wound up playing and leading the Bengals to a win.
This week, it’s Anthony Richardson who’s uncertain to play. He suffered a concussion in Week 2 and missed the Colts’ third game of the season, but he could be back for Indianapolis this Sunday.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Richardson is making progress and though he’s still in the concussion protocol, he’s expected to take first-team snaps in practice Wednesday.
#Colts QB Anthony Richardson is still in concussion protocol, but he is expected to practice today and will take starter reps, per coach Shane Steichen. A good sign for Richardson's progress and chances to start Sunday vs. the #Rams.

Richardson is a talented rookie out of Florida, and he’s already displayed his unique running ability by rushing for three touchdowns in a game and a half. He’s also thrown one touchdown pass, as well as one interception, but the talent is undoubtedly there for the Colts’ franchise quarterback.
If Richardson can’t clear the protocol by Sunday, it’ll be Gardner Minshew under center again after he led the Colts to a win over the Ravens in Week 3.
