Anthony Richardson missed minicamp last month as he dealt with another shoulder issue, but the Indianapolis Colts quarterback is on track to compete for a starting job in training camp.
Richardson aggravated the AC joint in his throwing shoulder leading up to minicamp. He experienced soreness, but tests did not show any structural damage.
On Monday, ESPN’s Stephen Holder reported that Richardson is believed to be fully recovered from his latest shoulder ailment and will participate in training camp, which begins on Tuesday for veterans.
Richardson first injured his shoulder midway through his rookie season in 2023. The former No. 4 overall pick suffered a sprained AC joint while being tackled on a designed run play, which eventually led to him having surgery.
Richardson was banged up again last season and drew criticism for the admission he made after subbing himself out of one game.
Daniel Jones signed with the Colts as a free agent this offseason and is competing with Richardson for the Week 1 starting job. Jones has reportedly been impressive while taking all of the first-team reps in Richardson’s absence.
Richardson has thrown 11 touchdown passes compared to 13 interceptions in 15 career games. If the former Florida star cannot beat out Jones for the starting job, his time with the Colts may soon come to an end.
