He then lasted just another game and a half before suffering what ended up being a season-ending shoulder injury. Richardson has been rehabbing the shoulder ever since, and according to Colts coach Shane Steichen, he is progressing well in that process.

“He’s in a really good spot,” Steichen said Tuesday. “Had really good discussions that I’ll obviously keep private, but he’s in a really good spot. His shoulder is feeling good. He should be good to go for practices like we talked about earlier. He will be out there throwing, but we’ll limit — we’ll obviously monitor it, make sure we’re smart with that but he’s in a really good place.”

Richardson has outrageous athleticism and showed the ability to make plays with both his arm and his legs during his short time on the field as a rookie, but obviously injuries were a significant factor in his first year. He has to get himself healthy and back on the field, but from the Colts’ perspective, the good news is he doesn’t have to do any catching up when it comes to the offensive system he’ll be in during his sophomore season, because Steichen and his staff are the ones who brought him in.
