Colts 2023 first-round QB Anthony Richardson underwent season-ending shoulder surgery, but HC Shane Steichen expects him to be ready to go at the start of the 2024 season.
“He’s in a really good spot,” Steichen said, via Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. “Had really good discussions that I’ll obviously keep private, but he’s in a really good spot. His shoulder is feeling good. He should be good to go for practices like we talked about earlier. He will be out there throwing, but we’ll limit — we’ll obviously monitor it, make sure we’re smart with that but he’s in a really good place.”
“I mean, he’s a competitor. I think most guys that are competitors that want to be great are going to want to push themselves. But again, we’re just going to have to monitor it and then we’ll go from there.”
