Colts' Richardson to miss minicamp due to shoulder injury

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced Thursday that quarterback Anthony Richardson won't participate in the remainder of the team's offseason program practices, including minicamp next week.

Richardson is expected to return at some point during training camp, but Steichen wouldn't put a timetable on the passer's recovery. The Colts don't expect the injury to require surgery.

Steichen explained Richardson experienced pain in his throwing shoulder after an OTA practice last week. Further evaluation showed he aggravated the AC joint injury that prematurely ended his rookie season in 2023.

Richardson is expected to compete for the Colts' starting job with Daniel Jones, who signed a one-year deal with the club in March.

Injuries have been an issue for Richardson, as he's only appeared in 15 games since being drafted fourth overall in 2023. The 23-year-old completed 50.6% of his passes for 2,391 yards and 11 touchdowns against 13 interceptions in those contests.
