Overview

  • Sources confirm Richardson recovered from the right shoulder soreness that sidelined him during June practices.
  • Colts medical staff may enforce a pitch count early in camp to rebuild his arm strength and avoid fatigue.
  • Daniel Jones, signed to a one-year, $14 million deal, will compete openly with Richardson for the starting role.
  • Richardson’s 50.6 percent career completion rate and history of injuries have heightened scrutiny of his reliability.
  • Coach Shane Steichen has made clear that the most consistent quarterback in camp will earn the opening-day start.
