Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson officially remained out of practice Thursday. He has back and foot injuries that have kept him sidelined this week.
The Colts, though, are optimistic about Richardson’s chances of playing Sunday, Stephen Holder of ESPN reports.
Richardson missed two starts in October with an oblique injury and was benched for two others in November. He has started the past five games.
Joe Flacco started the four games Richardson missed this season.
Tight end Mo Alie-Cox (toe) and linebacker E.J. Speed (knee) also missed practice again, but linebacker Jaylon Carlies (shoulder) returned to limited work after being estimated as a non-participant Wednesday.
Offensive guard Quenton Nelson (ankle) was downgraded to limited after being estimated as a full participant Wednesday.
Wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) was listed as a full participant for the second consecutive day, as was cornerback Jaylon Jones (throat).
Cornerback JuJu Brents (knee) fully participated for the second consecutive practice as he works his way back from injured reserve.
