Colts GM Chris Ballard: Anthony Richardson (shoulder) will be full-go in training camp

Ballard’s explanation tracks with what Richardson would experience following surgery on his throwing shoulder. Even with months of time to rehab, a surgically repaired shoulder is still going to be tested more intensely in consecutive practices than a given rehab session, explaining the fatigue and soreness Richardson said he felt by the final session.

Richardson even admitted he was surprised he’d only felt the fatigue then, revealing he thought it would arrive sooner. If anything, the timing was a minor victory for Richardson on his road back to the field.

That road will travel through the remainder of June and most of July before arriving at training camp, where Ballard and the Colts organization don’t anticipate they’ll need to place any limitations on their promising young passer.

That in itself is an early win. We’ll sort out the rest in July and August.
