In his Monday press conference, head coach Shane Steichen told reporters that Anthony Richardson remains in the protocol. But he’ll be back as QB1 whenever he’s available.

Related players: Gardner Minshew

Minshew has played well filling in for Richardson but the Colts wanted to put to rest any thoughts of a QB controversy. The story added we should get a better idea of Richardson's status for Week 4 when the Wednesday's injury report comes out.

For the third straight day, Colts’ rookie QB Anthony Richardson is not practicing due to the concussion he suffered Sunday.

Gardner Minshew is now in line to start Sunday at Baltimore.

Gardner Minshew performed great in emergency duty in Week 2, completing 82.6% of his passes. Minshew should be on radars in SuperFlex leagues if he gets the Week 3 start against the Ravens.

The Browns and veteran RB Kareem Hunt have agreed to terms on a one-year deal. Hunt scored 23 TDs over the past four seasons in Cleveland. Now he’s back — and figures to have a lot of opportunities after Nick Chubb’s season-ending injury.

Related Players: Jerome Ford, Pierre Strong Jr.

Hunt had been one of the least efficient ball carriers over the past two seasons and was no doubt a huge reason why the Browns let him walk in the first place. We are still expecting Jerome Ford to handle a vast majority of the workload, with Hunt rotating in with Strong.

Per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns are exploring Rams running back Cam Akers and former Cleveland running back Kareem Hunt.

Just as we posted this news item, it broke the Browns are hosting Hunt for a visit. The Browns would obviously have to give up a draft pick to get Akers. As for Hunt, he spent the last four seasons with the Browns so a reunion makes sense. He has not signed with anyone since his contract expired following last season. In late August, Hunt had reportedly received offers from four teams. But the running back was waiting for “the right offer” and didn’t sign any of them, the story went on to say. The team recently said the RB1 duties will go to Ford while Strong sits behind him on the depth chart for now.

Andrew Berry and the Browns’ personnel department are looking at external options. But at least for now, Cleveland will roll with Jerome Ford as its featured running back.

Ford finished with 16 carries for 106 yards against the Steelers in Week 2. He added three catches for 25 yards and a TD so he looks to at least be a pretty solid replacement in your fantasy lineup if you can get him off the waiver wire. Strong will likely factor in as well and the team has seemed to indicate they will bring in another back.

We have signed G Arlington Hambright to the 53-man roster from the practice squad, signed RB Trey Sermon to the practice squad, and waived T Ryan Hayes.

Related players: Zack Moss, Deon Jackson, Evan Hull

Sermon was on the Eagles last year and saw plenty of action this summer in preseason games before eventually getting cut. The Colts rode Moss last week as their RB1 as he collected 22 touches and a touchdown. But the team is likely looking for some depth at the position. Jackson didn't have a touch in Week 2 with the return of Moss and Hull remains on IR.

RB Zonovan Knight to the Lions’ practice squad up to their active roster with David Montgomery (thigh) dinged up.

Knight gets the call after Montgomery was injured in Week 2. Monty is considered day-to-day, but reports have said he could miss a couple of weeks, and the promotion of Knight could certainly indicate that. Gibbs and Reynolds should split the workload, but Knight will probably get some chances as well. He looked good enough with the Jets last year that if Monty does miss a few weeks, Knight could potentially work his way up to the RB2 slot.
