Notice to fans of “Fantasy Football”: several important players were injured this Sunday.
For the Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Anthony Richardson will be out for at least a month.
This is what the NFL Network learned on Monday, the day after a 23-16 victory against the Tennessee Titans. The first-year pivot reportedly suffers from a serious injury to his right shoulder, that of the arm with which he throws the ball.
Richardson was hurt on a four-yard run late in the second quarter. He immediately reported to his coaches that there was a problem with his shoulder. The young man left towards the locker room and did not return afterwards.
This is the second injury suffered by the fourth overall pick in the last NFL draft. He was forced to miss the Week 3 game, a 22-19 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens, with a concussion.
So far this season, Richardson has completed 59.5% of the passes he has attempted for 577 yards and three touchdowns, in addition to being the victim of a larceny. He also amassed 136 yards and four majors with his legs.
It was Gardner Minshew who replaced Richardson the two times he fell in action. The quarterback who previously played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles should be the starter for the Colts until the 21-year-old returns healthy.
We are worried in Minnesota
The start of the 2023 season for the Minnesota Vikings is very difficult and star player Justin Jefferson was not able to complete Sunday’s clash against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Vikings lost that game 27-20 and are now 1-4. The wide receiver left the game in the fourth quarter after injuring his right hamstring.

“It is still too early [pour se prononcer]”, said head coach Kevin O’Connell, speaking about the seriousness of Jefferson’s injury in a post-game press conference.
“Justin has done a phenomenal job over the last three and a half years of staying healthy and being there every week, which is hard to do,” said quarterback Kirk Cousins. This injury, it makes us think and realize that we are grateful to be healthy. I think we have the players to try to make up for this loss.
This season, Jefferson has caught 36 passes for 571 yards and three touchdowns.
Other significant injuries include New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. He was unable to finish the game against the Miami Dolphins (31-16 loss) due to a neck injury.
