COLTS CLAIM FELTON

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Richardson made "great strides" over the last two weeks, opening the door for him to return this week as the Colts' starting quarterback. 

Head coach Shane Steichen announced Wednesday Richardson will return behind center for this weekend's game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. 

The rookie wide receiver had a career-high six receptions for 71 yards on Sunday.

The Colts lost four turnovers in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Lucas Oil Stadium. 

Alec Pierce, Jaylon Jones and Luke Rhodes all have family and/or friends who have served, or are currently serving, in the United States Armed Forces.

Flacco completed 16-of-27 passes for 179 yards in the Colts' 21-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

The NFL trade deadline passed at 4 p.m. Tuesday. 

The NFL made the schedule change announcement on Monday.  

Cornerback Kenny Moore II recorded his first fumble recovery for a touchdown against the Vikings, thanks to a powerful strip sack from defensive tackle Grover Stewart.

The Colts converted three of 10 third down tries and did not have a possession reach the red zone in their 21-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. 

The quarterback's teammates said they still have full faith in Richardson and know he will continue to learn and develop into "the person he's meant to be.'

Head coach Shane Steichen said the Colts have not lost faith in Richardson, but made the decision to start Flacco over him in the best interest of the team.
