Michael Pittman Jr. Reveals Extent of Back Injury

Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. said Monday that he played all season with a small fracture in his back. James Boyd of The Athletic reports that Pittman first felt the issue during training camp and had the fracture revealed by testing in Week 3. It was Week 6 when we got the odd progression from Pittman expecting to lose multiple weeks to a back injury to playing in that week's game. He wound up missing only Week 10 vs. Buffalo.

Anthony Richardson Questionable For Week 17

Colts QB Anthony Richardson (back, foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. He didn’t practice all week. “We’ll see how the next 48 hours goes,” HC Shane Steichen said Friday. Beat writer Kevin Bowen notes that, of the 26 Colts players to miss an entire week of practice this season, only DeForest Buckner ended up playing. It seems more likely than not that QB Joe Flacco is under center for Indianapolis this weekend. He’d be just a low-end QB2 option in fantasy lineups but would be a significant boost to WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Colts "Optimistic" Anthony Richardson Plays Week 17

Colts QB Anthony Richardson (back, foot) was not on the field for the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media. But ESPN's Stephen Holder hears that the team is "optimistic" Richardson will be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. "He has made consistent progress and is responding to treatment," Holder writes. "But the source said Richardson's performance in Friday's practice would be critical." We'll update Richardson's status again on Friday afternoon. His absence would leave QB Joe Flacco under center, which would be a big boost for WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Alec Pierce Out For Week 16

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He leaves behind 4.1 targets per game, giving WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs slight boosts. WR Adonai Mitchell figures to soak up most of Pierce's snaps but is only viable in DFS tournaments.
