Anthony Richardson "Strongly Considering" Season-Ending Surgery

one year ago

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) "is strongly considering season-ending shoulder surgery on his damaged AC joint," according to a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Richardson injured himself in Week 5, was quickly ruled out, and eventually landed on short-term injured reserve. While this move leaves the door open for the Florida product to return in 2023, a surgery would sideline him for the remainder of his rookie campaign. According to Rapoport, Richardson received at least four different medical opinions on his injury and surgery was "deemed by some as the best option to fully heal his right throwing shoulder." He also reports that Richardson's right labrum is not torn and his ligaments look better than expected. Nevertheless, it looks like the first-round pick could have a significant road to recovery ahead of him. Gardner Minshew will quarterback Indianapolis in the interim.
