Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson reported for voluntary offseason workouts earlier this month and took first-team repetitions Wednesday during the full-team portion of practice. Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft, said he decided to attend after growing impatient waiting for a trade. "I signed a contract," he said.
"I was still on this team before the trade stuff. "
Richardson declined to restate a preference for a trade when asked Wednesday. "I'm not really focused on that right now," he said. "
roster context Richardson has recovered from an orbital bone fracture sustained last year when a stretching band struck his face.
He also sustained two season-ending injuries during his first three seasons and was previously benched. Starting quarterback Daniel Jones is recovering from a torn Achilles and recently signed an $88 million contract. Coach Shane Steichen has also praised rookie Riley Leonard as a potential option at the position.
