Richardson, this year’s fourth overall pick in the draft, sustained the injury during the Colts’ victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 5; Colts are currently 3-3 after defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is set to miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury
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.
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, having also sustained a concussion in Week 2.
The Colts have yet to determine whether the 21-year-old, who was placed on injured reserve last week, will undergo surgery.
Richardson is unlikely to feature again during the regular season
“The most likelihood is he’s probably going to be gone for the year,” Irsay told ESPN. “I mean, it’s not definite but (he) probably misses this year and we’re going to have to contend with that factor.
“There’s debate going, but it’s probably going to lead toward surgery in the next week or so. We’re just trying to figure out exactly how and when and what we want to do and what Anthony wants to do.”
