Colts’ Anthony Richardson (shoulder) expects to be ready for training camp

After starting just 15 games over his first two NFL seasons, Anthony Richardson dismissed concerns about his latest health issue.Sidelined during minicamp, the oft-injured quarterback spoke on Monday about his shoulder injury with Zach Goodall of 24/7 Sports.”I’m all good,” Richardson said. “… Not really even a bump in the road. I feel like I tripped, I fell. Just got back up and hit the ground running again.”Amid reports that Colts newcomer Daniel Jones has already surpassed Richardson on the depth chart, a re-injury to his throwing shoulder will not help the 23-year-old’s case in one of the NFL’s most prominent quarterback competitions entering the 2025 season.On June 5, Indianapolis announced that Richardson wouldn’t take part in minicamp as a result of soreness in a surgically repaired right shoulder that previously sidelined the young QB for nearly a full season.Richardson reportedly sought a second opinion on his shoulder with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who specializes in sports medicine. According to Colts head coach Shane Steichen, the surgeon’s assessment suggested the No. 4 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft didn’t need to undergo an additional surgery.Meanwhile, Daniel Jones signed with Indianapolis this offseason after joining the Minnesota Vikings midway through the 2024 season. After a disastrous 2-8 start to the campaign, Jones was cut by the New York Giants following 5 1/2 seasons with the franchise.
