Colts’ Shane Steichen after 11th straight loss in Jacksonville: Didn’t have that juice on the field
- On Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson returned to the field during a 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, marking his first regular-season NFL action since sustaining a season-ending orbital fracture in 2025.
- Richardson's injury occurred during 2025 pregame warmups when a resistance band malfunctioned, fracturing his orbital bone; the 24-year-old told reporters he faced significant uncertainty regarding his vision recovery.
- Replacing benched starter Daniel Jones late in the game, Richardson completed two passes for eight yards and recorded two runs, while the Colts offense managed only 243 yards in the 42-7 defeat.
- Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen declined to confirm Jones as the starter for Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys, insisting he will evaluate every position following the team's fourth consecutive loss.
- Signaling a potential full-scale rebuild, the Colts traded Pro Bowlers Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner five days prior to the loss, while Richardson expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play again.
