Colts QB Anthony Richardson's injury another potential hurdle for any breakout

Our Summary

The Indianapolis Colts have signed Daniel Jones, signaling a serious challenge for their third-year quarterback, Anthony Richardson. Despite being the fourth overall draft pick two years ago, Richardson's development has been hindered by injuries and underperformance. The recent announcement of Richardson's shoulder injury further complicates his situation, as he'll miss upcoming minicamp and potentially valuable training time. Head coach Shane Steichen faces a tough decision, especially since Jones, though not spectacular, can consistently manage games. Richardson's history of concussions and other injuries impacts his ability to secure the starting role. With poor stats last season and recurring health issues, Richardson can't afford any more setbacks if he hopes to outshine Jones in training camp and preseason.
