The Indianapolis Colts have suffered a major blow to their roster, as quarterback Anthony Richardson is set to undergo season-ending surgery for a throwing shoulder injury. Richardson, who was signed by the Colts in the offseason, was expected to be the team’s starting quarterback this year.
The news of Richardson’s injury was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. According to Schefter, Richardson suffered the injury during a practice session and was immediately taken to the hospital for evaluation. After further examination, it was determined that Richardson would require surgery to repair the shoulder.
The Colts have not yet announced who will replace Richardson as the team’s starting quarterback. However, it is likely that veteran Jacoby Brissett will take over the role. Brissett has been with the Colts since 2017 and has seen significant playing time in the past.
Richardson’s injury is a major setback for the Colts, who were hoping to make a playoff run this season. Without Richardson, the team will have to rely on Brissett to lead them through the remainder of the season.
The Colts organization wishes Richardson a speedy recovery and hopes he will be able to return to the field soon. In the meantime, they will have to make do with Brissett at the helm.
