Richardson said he noticed that the little finger was bent in an uncomfortable angle when he got up and immediately went to the sidelines where trainers put their finger in place.

His other problem; Accuracy. Last season, Richardson completed 47.7% of his passes, the lowest percentage of the regular starters of the competition, while threw 13 career -lower scoops compared to 11 TD passes.
The combination led Indy to sign free agent Daniel Jones in March for a one-year-old free agent deal of $ 14 million, so that a competition was set up between the sitting and Jones, which was selected by the New York Giants by the New York Giants.
Jones was released in the past season less than two years after he was rewarded to bring the Giants to the play-offs with a four-year contract extension of $ 160 million.
Jones was 10 out of 21 with 144 Yards in Baltimore, while Richardson was 2 of 3 with 21 Yards.

Prior to the match, coach Shane Steichen said that he was planning to start Richardson against Baltimore and let him play more than a quarter before he turned the script against Green Bay next Saturday.
But then Steichen acknowledged that the plan could change – if Richardson could play against the packers. Steichen was not planned to meet reporters in the training camp until Sunday.
