Despite the gruesome appearance of a dislocated pinkie, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson appeared to escape with just a minor injury after all.

Colts coach Shane Steichen called him day to day and a pinky injury doesn't sound serious, but if you can't grip the football correctly, you can't play quarterback, and the pinky finger does serve an important role in a quarterback's grip.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is considered day-to-day with a dislocated pinkie, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t yet made an official statement.
