Overview

  • Richardson told 247 Sports his shoulder issue was “just a bump in the road” and he expects to be ready when veterans report on July 22.
  • James Boyd of The Athletic reports Jones has built a significant lead in the open quarterback competition by making the most of Richardson’s limited offseason reps.
  • Colts coach Shane Steichen rested Richardson during minicamp as a precaution against additional wear on a shoulder that underwent surgery in 2023.
  • Repeated shoulder setbacks have limited Richardson to 15 starts since the Colts selected him fourth overall in the 2023 draft.
  • Indianapolis’ preseason preparations begin when veterans report on July 22, leading into an opener at the Baltimore Ravens on August 7.
