Anthony Richardson and the Indianapolis Colts are reportedly “strongly considering” season-ending shoulder surgery according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The former Gator, who has had a strong start to his rookie year in the NFL, injured his shoulder during last week’s win over the Tennessee Titans.
There’s some good news in this though. The Colts would take this avenue for Richardson’s long-term success, as the MRI showed he did not tear his labrum. The report indicates the tendons look “better than expected.”
The #Colts may have to wait until 2024 to see more of QB Anthony Richardson. Sources say season-ending surgery is being strongly considered, perhaps the best option to fix his shoulder long-term.

Richardson has shown incredible promise this season for Indianapolis. He’s thrown for 577 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception with 136 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns through 5 games. That’s great for a rookie QB in the NFL.
Nothing is confirmed as of yet, of course. But for now, the Colts are Gardner Minshew’s team.
