Indianapolis Colts running back is active on Sunday and “good to go” in their week 10 match up against the St. Louis Rams according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Richardson missed practices on Wednesday and Thursday with a swollen ankle and was listed as questionable. Richardson practiced Friday and was expected to play on Sunday all along.

“Oh yeah, I’m always game-ready,” Richardson said, via ESPN. “Took precaution on it and coach (Chuck Pagano) is going to make the best decision. You see me out there running around and you see me moving like I used to move. You know I’m ready.”

The Colts are trying to find ways to get Richardson the ball.

“I just have to find ways to creatively get the ball to Trent,” offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said. “A lot of different ways, not just out in space, but do a better job with run schemes that feature his instincts. But he’s gotten better each week, and we expect that he’ll continue to make big plays for us.”
