The 23-year-old missed 13 games during his rookie season after suffering a concussion and a season-ending injury to his right shoulder. Last season, he didn't suffer a major injury (he did miss one game with a hip sprain), but he was benched for six games for ineffectiveness in favor of Joe Flacco.
Though Flacco is now in Cleveland, Richardson still isn't the unquestioned starter after the Colts signed former No. 6 overall pick Daniel Jones in the offseason to push and compete with Richardson in 2025.

And now it seems Richardson will be behind the 8-ball in his competition with Jones after news broke on Thursday that he's battling another injury that will force him to miss some time.

'Per Shane Steichen - QB Anthony Richardson is dealing with a shoulder injury and will not participate in mini-camp next week,' the Colts announced on X.
Richardson, who threw for 1,814 yards, eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions last season while rushing for another 499 yards and six touchdowns, reportedly experienced pain in his throwing shoulder after practice last week during OTAs.
After getting his shoulder evaluated, Richardson was deemed to have reaggravated the same AC joint he injured during his rookie year and had surgery on, according to the Colts.
Steichen didn't provide any sort of timetable for Richardson's return but said he expects it be to around when training camp starts in mid-to-late July. He's not expected to need another surgery.

Dating back to his college days with the Florida Gators, Richardson has a questionable medical history. He missed two games in September of 2021 with a hamstring strain and another game in November with a knee meniscus tear.

Aaron Rodgers officially signs one-year contract with Steelers worth over $13 million: report
Aaron Rodgers is officially headed to Pittsburgh next season. The four-time league MVP officially signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday and will address the media on Tuesday for the first time following the team's first minicamp practice, the Steelers' senior director of communications Burt Lauten announced on X. Rodgers, 41, signed a one-year deal worth up to $19.5 million with incentives, which includes a $10 million guarantee, ESPN reported, citing sources. The news, first reported on Wednesday, ended months of speculation as to whether Rodgers would return for another NFL season or enter retirement after a failed two-year stint with the New York Jets. Rodgers addressed the rumors about his decision and his time with the Jets, during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in April. He said he had spoken to several teams, including New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll and Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell, whom he is in regular contact with. "I'm open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility, but right now my focus is and has been and will continue to be on my personal life … there's still conversations that are being had." Ultimately, the veteran NFL quarterback decided Pittsburgh would be where he would play his 21st season. Rodgers' arrival solves the Steelers' quarterback problems – at least for now – after Russell Wilson and Justin Fields both signed with New York Teams. Now Rodgers will battle Mason Rudolph, who signed a two-year contract in March, for the starting position.
