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 sustained an AC joint sprain that required surgery, and he hopes to return to the field sooner than the expected 16-week recovery timeline. He has been actively participating in meetings and game preparation, gaining valuable learning experiences for the future. The Colts, currently 8-6, have been performing well with backup QB Gardner Minshew.
