Overview

  • Anthony Richardson told 247 Sports that he feels fully recovered and expects to report for training camp on July 22 after a shoulder setback disrupted minicamp.
  • The shoulder issue was linked to his 2023 AC joint surgery, though a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache confirmed he will avoid further surgery.
  • Offseason addition Daniel Jones has already been working with the first-team offense, positioning himself as the frontrunner for the Week 1 start.
  • Persistent health problems have limited Richardson to 15 starts in two seasons and fueled concerns about his availability.
  • Coach Shane Steichen has refrained from committing to a starter, leaving the determination to in-camp performance and durability tests.
