Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft, is roughly halfway through his recovery from season-ending shoulder surgery and expects to resume throwing early next year.
Richardson, speaking to reporters for the first time since sustaining the injury to his right (throwing) shoulder against the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 8, said doctors told him he could resume throwing about 16 weeks after surgery. He's now at the eight-week mark and hopes to be throwing even sooner than the established timeline.
"I'm trying to push to get [back] before that," he said during a visit to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.
