Colts QB Anthony Richardson reportedly recovered from shoulder setback
Anthony Richardson Sr.'s shoulder issues appear to be behind him, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback is "believed" to have recovered from the right shoulder soreness that sidelined him during the team's minicamp in June. He is expected to be ready to go when the team opens up training camp next week. Last month, Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, said that the shoulder setback was "not really even a bump in the road" and that he was "all good." Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters that Richardson met with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache for a second opinion and ElAttrache agreed with the initial prognosis that the Colts quarterback did not require another procedure. ElAttrache performed Richardson's 2023 surgery on the AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, which limited him to just four games in his rookie season. He recommended rest and rehabilitation for the injury. Richardson could be limited early in camp as he builds up strength in his throwing shoulder, something the Colts' medical staff will be monitoring closely. Health will be important for Richardson going forward. Daniel Jones was signed in the offseason and Steichen said that it will be an "open competition" for the QB1 job this season. Richardson will have to stay on the field and show consistency in his play and that he can improve on his 50.6% career completion percentage. The Colts finished 8-9 last season and missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.
