Colts’ Richardson, starters to play briefly vs. Broncos

Coach Shane Steichen announced that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson and most of the starters will play “a series or two” in the upcoming preseason opener against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Richardson, who suffered a season-ending injury to the AC joint in his right shoulder last season, will be returning to the field for the first time since Week 5. Despite his injury-shortened rookie season, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is eager to make his comeback. Steichen expressed his excitement for Richardson’s return, praising his dedication to rehab and readiness to play. Richardson, looking forward to his return, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play and plans to make an impact in the game. In his limited starts last season, Richardson showed promise with his passing and rushing abilities. The 22-year-old quarterback will look to build on his performance and contribute to the team’s success. –Field Level Media
