Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco throws during an NFL game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024, in Jacksonville, Fla.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Indianapolis Colts will try to end a nine-game road-losing skid to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. 

The streak includes a game in London. The Jaguars (0-4) are favored in this AFC South matchup despite being the NFL's only winless team. 

Quarterback Anthony Richardson was ruled inactive for Sunday's game.

In a post on X, the Colts (2-2) listed all of their inactive players for Sunday's game. Aside from Richardson, the team listed wide receiver Anthony Gould, cornerback Kenny Moore II, running back Jonathan Taylor, defensive end Kwity Paye, tackle Blake Freeland and center Ryan Kelly. 

Taylor exited late in the game during last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers with an ankle injury. Paye and Moore were both injured two weeks ago during the Colts' win over the Chicago Bears. Neither practiced this week.

Richardson was limited during this week's practices. He left last week's game against the Steelers with a hip injury and was replaced by Joe Flacco. The Associated Press reported that a sore hip limited Richardson in Wednesday's practice and that Flacco took the majority of the snaps. 

Now that the Colts officially downgraded Richardson to inactive, this means backup quarterback Joe Flacco will take his place. 

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Everbank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. Keep it here all game long for live updates as they happen.
