The Indianapolis Colts get their offense's leader back on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins as quarterback Anthony Richardson will make his return to the field.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen told reporters on Friday that Richardson (oblique), "will be ready to roll," while also stating that running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and cornerback Chris Lammons (ankle) will be out for this week's game.

Richardson was forced out of the Colts' Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers early after taking a hit to his side on a 14-yard run. Although he hasn't missed any practices since the injury, Richardson was close to returning last week against the Tennessee Titans but was designated as the emergency quarterback to give him one more week to heal.
