Overview

  • Richardson visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles for a second opinion after experiencing pain in his surgically repaired throwing shoulder during OTAs
  • ElAttrache concurred with team doctors that Richardson should continue resting the AC joint injury without a set timeline for resuming practice
  • Steichen confirmed Richardson will miss the mandatory minicamp as he rehabs and emphasized there is still no forecasted date for his comeback
  • The Colts signed veteran Daniel Jones this offseason and he is now expected to take the majority of snaps throughout minicamp and training camp
  • Richardson’s prior injuries—including a grade-3 AC sprain requiring surgery, a concussion, oblique issues and back spasms—have intensified questions about his long-term viability
