Anthony Richardson hit the field Sunday for the Indianapolis Colts, his first game back after a scary eye injury, but it turns out the injury was even more terrifying than anyone knew. Richardson addressed reporters after the Colts’ loss, making it clear just how serious things got.
“They Don’t Know If I’m Getting My Vision Back”
Richardson revealed the brutal reality he faced, stating that doctors couldn’t guarantee his eyesight would return. “I would go to the doctor, and they would tell me they don’t know if I’m getting my vision back and stuff like that,” he told reporters. That’s a gut punch, right? Imagine being told that, then suiting up to play professional football.
He emphasized his gratitude simply to be back on the field, saying, “I’m just grateful that I even get the chance to go out there and throw a pass, regardless of if I step on the field or not, cause there was a day and a time where this wasn’t promised for me.” He replaced Daniel Jones in the game, a tough loss for the Colts, but for Richardson, just playing was a monumental win after such a harrowing injury.
