Colts Add S Reuben Lowery, Place Anthony Richardson on Injured Reserve

The Indianapolis Colts have made significant roster changes following recent injuries. Quarterback Anthony Richardson has been placed on injured reserve, while safety Reuben Lowery has been added to the team after being claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens.

Anthony Richardson’s Injury Update

Anthony Richardson sustained a fractured orbital bone during pregame activities on Sunday. This injury has resulted in him being sidelined for a minimum of four games. Head coach Shane Steichen indicated that Richardson will miss time but refrained from providing a specific timeline for his return.

Quarterback Situation

With Richardson out, the Colts will rely on existing quarterbacks Daniel Jones and rookie Riley Leonard. Steichen mentioned that General Manager Chris Ballard and his team are actively seeking a healthy third quarterback option.

Reuben Lowery Joins the Colts

Reuben Lowery, a safety who has played three games this season for the Ravens, will now join the Colts. During his time with Baltimore, he made one start and recorded five tackles. Lowery entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent from the University of Chattanooga.

Key Takeaways

  • Anthony Richardson placed on injured reserve due to a fractured orbital bone.
  • Minimum absence of four games for Richardson.
  • Colts’ active quarterbacks include Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard.
  • Reuben Lowery claimed from Ravens; has played in three games this season.
  • Lowery’s career began as an undrafted free agent from Chattanooga.

The Colts will need to adapt quickly to these changes as they navigate the challenges ahead without Richardson and with Lowery integrating into their defensive lineup.
