INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts began Week 6 in another holding pattern. Starting quarterback Anthony Richardson did limited work at Wednesday's practice and 2021 NFL rushing champion Jonathan Taylor sat out. Then the found out top receiver Michael Pittman Jr. also has a back injury, according to a person with knowledge of the injury. The person asked for anonymity because the team has not made details of the injury public. That means the Colts could be without their starting quarterback, their best running back and their top receiver for Sunday's key AFC South game at Tennessee.
