Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is day-to-day with oblique and abdominal strains that he sustained Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Richardson left the team's 27-24 win after playing just 13 snaps. He completed three of his four pass attempts for 71 yards before being ruled out. The 22-year-old also had 24 yards on three carries.

The 6-foot-4, 244-pounder dealt with a concussion and a season-ending shoulder injury in 2023 but hadn't missed an offensive snap this season until Sunday.

Veteran Joe Flacco replaced Richardson against the Steelers, completing 61.5% of his passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns in the victory.

Flacco is expected to start if Richardson doesn't suit up against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. Sam Ehlinger would operate as Flacco's primary backup.
