Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will miss at least a month with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, according to multiple reports.
The rookie has a Grade 3 sprain, The Athletic reported, the result of an injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s win against the visiting Tennessee Titans.
ESPN reported Monday that the Colts are not expecting Richardson to be available this week. However, Richardson is scheduled to undergo an MRI and also will receive a second opinion from shoulder specialist Dr. Keith Meister, per the report.
Richardson, 21, fell on his right shoulder after being tackled by Titans linebacker Harold Landry III. Richardson, who completed 9 of 12 passes for 98 yards, went to the blue medical tent before going to the locker room. He was replaced by Gardner Minshew.
The fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft out of Florida, Richardson missed Week 3 after sustaining a concussion the previous week against the Houston Texans. He briefly came out of the Colts’ season opener with a lower-body injury late in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Minshew came on Sunday to go 11-of-14 passing for 155 yards in Indianapolis’ 23-16 victory. Neither Richardson nor Minshew threw a touchdown pass or an interception.
The Colts are tied with the Jaguars at 3-2 atop the AFC South. The teams meet Sunday in Jacksonville.
