New information surfaces about Anthony Richardson’s latest injury

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will not participate in minicamp next week due to an issue with his throwing shoulder, and some new information about the injury has surfaced.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced on Thursday that Richardson aggravated the AC joint in his right shoulder and has experienced soreness. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Richardson recently underwent scans.

Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who performed surgery on Richardson’s shoulder in 2023, examined the injury and found no structural concerns, according to Fowler.

“It’s the AC joint that he suffered an injury on in 2023. I’m told there’s some inflammation from that,” Fowler said Friday. “Richardson went really hard this offseason and in OTAs. He was throwing a lot, sometimes hundreds of footballs a day. He felt some soreness and some inflammation.

“He reported it to Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who did the surgery two years ago. They looked at the scans. I’m told, structurally, this is okay. It’s just an inflammation and rest, soreness type of issue. He fully expects to be ready to go for training camp, but it is an issue, make no mistake.”
