Overview

  • Anthony Richardson has been ruled out of mandatory minicamp after complaining of shoulder pain on May 29, Colts coach Shane Steichen confirmed.
  • Richardson is scheduled to visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who performed his October 2023 shoulder surgery, for further evaluation of his throwing shoulder.
  • Daniel Jones has taken the majority of first-team reps during minicamp and is listed as the favorite to start Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins by FanDuel Sportsbook.
  • Recurring injuries, including his surgically treated AC joint sprain and recent oblique and back setbacks, have intensified doubts about Richardson’s long-term viability as the Colts’ quarterback.
  • Colts captain Zaire Franklin praised Richardson’s growing maturity and work ethic despite the persistent injury concerns.
