Overview

  • An ESPN source reported on July 17 that Richardson’s right shoulder has fully recovered from June soreness and is ready for camp.
  • Colts medical staff will assess his condition when players report, potentially enforcing a pitch count to rebuild arm strength safely.
  • Richardson has started 15 of 32 games since being drafted fourth overall in 2023 and saw his completion rate fall to 47.7 percent last season.
  • Daniel Jones signed a one-year, $14 million deal in March and took most first-team reps during Richardson’s rehab in June.
  • Coach Shane Steichen has labeled the quarterback role an open competition and will award the job to the most consistent performer.
