Colts GM: Richardson will be 'full-go' in training camp
Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard doesn't expect quarterback Anthony Richardson to have any limitations at training camp next month.
"He'll be full-go," Ballard recently said on "The GM Shuffle" podcast, according to Nick Shook of NFL.com. "He was full-go all the way up until the last day of OTAs, and we had two heavy throwing sessions the two days before, so we backed off a little on the last day."
Richardson underwent shoulder surgery in 2023 after sustaining a season-ending injury five weeks into his rookie campaign. He returned at OTAs this offseason and was also a full participant during the first day of mandatory minicamp. The 22-year-old, however, left early on Day 2 and wasn't on the field for the final day due to soreness in his surgically repaired right arm.
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said at the time that Richardson's absence was "precautionary."
The 2023 No. 4 pick flashed his potential in Year 1 before being sidelined. Richardson finished last season with 577 passing yards and three touchdowns against one interception. He also rushed for 136 yards and four scores.
