Colts QB Anthony Richardson Resumes Throwing Ahead Training Camp

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has resumed throwing ahead of the 2025 training camp, marking a positive step in his recovery from a right shoulder AC joint injury that required surgery last year. While the team’s medical staff has yet to fully evaluate him as players have been on summer break, Colts coach Shane Steichen indicated Richardson will be gradually eased back into throwing and practice workloads. Richardson faces a critical competition for the starting quarterback role against veteran Daniel Jones, whom the Colts signed due to Richardson’s injury history and inconsistent play. Despite showing promise during his rookie season, Richardson has struggled with durability—missing 17 of 34 games—and performance issues, including a league-low 47.7% completion rate last year. The upcoming training camp and preseason will be pivotal for Richardson to demonstrate improvement and secure his place as the franchise quarterback for the Colts’ 2025 season. Coach Steichen emphasized that the starting job will go to the most consistent performer as the team prepares for its September opener.
