In a recent development, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is facing the possibility of missing the rest of the NFL regular season. According to team owner Jim Irsay, Richardson may need shoulder surgery to repair a dislocated AC joint in his right shoulder, which he suffered in the Week 5 clash with the Tennessee Titans
The Injury and Medical Examination
Anthony Richardson, the fourth overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, had a major setback in the second half of the game against the Titans. This injury caused the Colts to seek many medical opinions on the best course of action.
“It’s very likely that he’ll probably miss the year,” Irsay revealed. While this is not a definitive decision, the team is ready to adjust to life without its star quarterback for the remainder of the season.
The Decision-Making Process
One of the most important decisions the Colts will have to make with Richardson is whether surgery is necessary to repair his shoulder injury or whether rehabilitation will be sufficient and at this point it appears that surgery is the most obvious way. Jim Irsay said, “There’s an ongoing debate, but it’s probably going to be surgical in the next week or so. We’re just trying to figure out exactly how and when we want to do what we want Anthony to do.” .”
However, the final call remains with Anthony Richardson and his advisers. Usually, players follow medical advice, but the Colts are approaching the situation with great caution, understanding the long-term implications for their franchise.
