Carlie Irsay-Gordon on Anthony Richardson: I'm going to stay in my lane on that one

Our Summary

Anthony Richardson's initial three seasons with the Indianapolis Colts have been marred by injuries and underperformance, leading to the team bringing in Daniel Jones as competition. Jones won the starting quarterback position before suffering significant injuries, including a fractured fibula and a torn Achilles, during his one-year contract. The Colts are reportedly interested in re-signing Jones for the 2026 season. Meanwhile, it appears likely that the team will not exercise Richardson's fifth-year option. Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon expressed sympathy for Richardson's injury struggles but deferred to General Manager Chris Ballard and Head Coach Shane Steichen for decisions regarding the quarterback situation. The team found Jones' performance promising before his injuries, leaving the future of Richardson with the Colts uncertain as offseason decisions loom.
