Overview

  • Richardson aggravated the AC joint in his right shoulder during OTAs and will miss the Colts’ mandatory minicamp to rest the injury.
  • Steichen announced Richardson will not need surgery and declined to set a firm timetable for his return ahead of training camp.
  • With Richardson out, veteran Daniel Jones will receive expanded first-team reps at minicamp, strengthening his bid for the starting role.
  • General manager Chris Ballard has highlighted durability as a key concern after Richardson missed 17 games over his first two NFL seasons.
  • Jeremy Fowler reports Richardson ‘fully expects to be ready to go’ for training camp when the QB competition with Jones resumes.
