Colts’ Richardson Out, Jones Takes First-Team QB Reps

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson continues to experience soreness in his right shoulder, the same one that required surgery last year for an AC joint sprain, leading him to seek a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. Both team doctors and Dr. ElAttrache have recommended continued rest, with no change in his recovery plan and no timetable for return. Richardson has missed multiple offseason practices and will also be held out of mandatory minicamp, leaving his status for the start of training camp uncertain. Veteran Daniel Jones is currently taking all first-team reps and could potentially start in Week 1 if Richardson is not cleared in time. The Colts' quarterback situation remains fluid, with the team monitoring Richardson's progress and possibly reconsidering its depth chart or offensive plans. Any setbacks could have significant implications for the team's 2025 season.
