Indianapolis colts The quarter-arre Anthony Richardson will miss this week’s mini-camp practices with a shoulder injury.
As Shane Steichen described it before the last OTA practice on Thursday, Richardson felt shoulder pain the previous week. After a more in -depth assessment, the tests revealed that the pain was linked to the same Ca joint that Richardson injured during his recruit season.

Steichen did not provide a specific calendar for Richardson’s return, except to mention that he hoped to recover it at some point during the training camp.
Since then, the reports of the NFL initiates have been more promising. This includes Tom Pelissero saying that Richardson “1,000 percent” Be ready for the training camp, although he added the warning that even if it is available on day 1, it does not mean that it will be a full blow.
On the opposite level of this, while making an appearance on the ‘Rich Eisen Show“Albert Breer’s understanding on Richardson’s shoulder injury was much less promising, saying that the quarterrier was going to get a second opinion.
“It was the second day of the OTA that they closed it,” said Breer. “He will visit Dr. Neil Elattrache, I think it will happen this week to have him checked. Elattrache was the one who made surgery at the start. It is one of those rich, when you talk about the pain that comes back to the shoulder, and no, he has not yet been operated, but he will have more opinions on this subject, that worries.

“I would say that I take them both very seriously because everything that has to do with the launch shoulder of a quarter, the elbow, the wrist, all that is serious, but when it is a rehearsal, that’s when Foal During week 1 and Anthony Richardson faces a lot of uncertainty in the future. “”
Hope would be that it is the colts and Richardson being careful with his shoulder, but as Breer mentions it, the second opinions, in particular on the launch arm of a quarter, are not a good thing in general.
Even if Richardson is ready to go for the training camp, he will play the catch -up when it comes to competing with Daniel Jones. Richardson will have missed most of the OTAs, all of Minicamp, and everything that is potentially necessary to accelerate during the training camp. This does not mean that Richardson cannot still win work in this scenario, but he will have to catch up quickly.
