WESTFIELD, Ind. -- Any concerns that Anthony Richardson Sr.'s offseason shoulder issue might impact the Indianapolis Colts' quarterback battle were put to rest during Wednesday's first practice of training camp, as Richardson took a majority of the full-team snaps with the starting offense with no limitations.
Richardson, speaking to local media for the first time since he missed the final two weeks of offseason practices with right shoulder soreness -- 19 months after a season-ending surgery in 2023 -- viewed the issue as minor and suggested the discomfort was mild.
"They told me I had to sit down a few weeks, and I was like, 'Man, I can go right now,'" Richardson recounted Wednesday, referring to his reaction to the team's medical staff shutting down his offseason work early last month.
