Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson’s right shoulder is ready to go for training camp next week, ESPN reported on Thursday.

Richardson did not participate in a minicamp last month after the team said he was experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired throwing shoulder.

He had season-ending surgery to repair his right AC joint in October 2023 and has been limited to 15 starts since the Colts drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2023.

Richardson sought outside medical opinions from experts who agreed with the Colts’ cautionary approach to this offseason. He has been working with personal coaches in Florida and throwing with velocity, ESPN reported.

It’s possible that Richardson could be on a pitch count early in training camp to allow him time to get up to speed, per the report. Players are required to report by Tuesday.

Richardson, 23, faces competition from former New York Giants starter Daniel Jones, who signed a one-year deal for $14 million in March.

Richardson’s accuracy and durability will be in the spotlight entering Year 3. In 15 career starts, he has completed 176 of 348 pass attempts (50.6 percent) for 2,391 yards with 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The mobile QB has 635 rushing yards and 10 additional scores.
