### Colts' Anthony Richardson Among Five Inactives For Week 6 Against Titans

In a critical Week 6 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts have announced five inactive players, with quarterback Anthony Richardson highlighting the list. Richardson, dealing with an oblique injury, will serve as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

Richardson's designation as an emergency quarterback means he will only see action if both primary quarterbacks, Joe Flacco and Sam Ehlinger, are unable to play. Despite his limited participation in practice on Wednesday and Friday and being a full participant on Thursday, Richardson remains sidelined for the second consecutive game. The decision to list him as inactive was made after head coach Shane Steichen indicated on Friday that Richardson, who sustained the injury in Week 4 and missed Week 5, would be a game-time decision.

Wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr., battling a back injury, and Josh Downs, nursing a toe issue, have been cleared to play after being listed as questionable. Additionally, cornerback Kenny Moore II and right tackle Braden Smith, both dealing with multiple injuries, are active and ready to contribute.

However, the Colts will be without running back Jonathan Taylor, who has been ruled out due to an ankle injury. The full list of inactives for Week 6 includes Richardson among others, highlighting the challenges the team faces heading into the game against the Titans.
