Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson is “probably” going to miss the remainder of the regular season due to an injury to his throwing shoulder, according to ESPN on Monday.
Richardson suffered an AC joint sprain in Week 5 during the Colts’ 23-16 win over the Titans. It was Richardson’s second injury of his young career; he sustained a concussion in Week 2.
The Colts have yet to determine whether the 21-year-old will undergo surgery. He was placed on injured reserve last week.
“The most likelihood is he’s probably going to be gone for the year,” Irsay said. “I mean, it’s not definite but (he) probably misses this year and we’re going to have to contend with that factor.”
The Colts (3-3) lost 37-20 to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, with Gardner Minshew going 33-for-55 for 329 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions for Indianapolis.
Richardson, this year’s fourth overall pick in the draft, completed 59.5 percent of his passes for 577 yards, three touchdowns and one interception over four starts to begin his career. He also picked up 136 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
