The Indianapolis Colts took a chance by drafting quarterback Anthony Richardson from the University of Florida in the 2023 NFL Draft. Despite doubts from many experts, Richardson proved himself after becoming the starting quarterback for the Colts, showing potential as a franchise quarterback.
However, his physical style led to a season-ending shoulder injury that required surgery. Although initially thought to be fully recovered during OTAs, Richardson is now experiencing soreness in the shoulder, raising concerns among fans and media.
Stephen Holder of ESPN noted that the Colts historically do not lie about injuries, referencing previous instances like Andrew Luck’s shoulder issues. While some soreness is expected in the recovery process, continuous discomfort could signal a larger problem for Richardson.
It is still early in Richardson’s return journey, and minor setbacks are common. However, if the shoulder issues persist, it could pose a significant concern for the Colts and their young quarterback.
