It's possible NFL fans won't see Anthony Richardson, the Indianapolis Colts' dynamic young quarterback, on the field again until 2024.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Sunday that Richardson, who is on injured reserve with a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder, is"strongly considering" having season-ending surgery to repair the injury.
Richardson's shoulder injury happened during the Colts' Week 5 win over the Tennessee Titans. Running with the ball late in the second quarter, two defenders converged on him, and one knocked him to the ground directly on his shoulder and fell right on top of him. He left the game immediately after and didn't return. Gardner Minshew came in to replace Richardson in the second half of the 23-16 win.Minshew will be the starting quarterback while he's out.

Richardson had started to emerge as a serious threat, and had finally gotten on the field with running back Jonathan Taylor, who recently returned from an ankle injury. Over four games this season, Richardson has thrown 577 yards with three touchdowns, plus 136 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. The Colts drafted him fourth overall during the 2023 NFL Draft.string of quarterback issues.

But they've finally learned from the past. They're taking Richardson's shoulder injury very seriously, reportedly seeking four or five opinions on the best course forward.
