Richardson has been the primary backup to starter Daniel Jones after Jones won a preseason position battle between them. In his absence Sunday, rookie Riley Leonard will be the No. 2 quarterback.
According to the team, Richardson was doing warmups with elastic bands before the game when a mishap resulted in him being hit in the eye. No further details were available.
Richardson has appeared in two games this season in the fourth quarters of lopsided games. He has played in 17 games since being drafted fourth overall by the Colts in 2023.
