INDIANAPOLIS — The quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts, Anthony Richardsonwill “probably” miss the rest of the regular season and could undergo shoulder surgery in the next week, the team owner said. Jim Irsay, a ESPN on Monday.

Anthony Richardsonthis year’s fourth overall pick in the draft, suffered a sprained joint in his right (throwing) shoulder during the second quarter of Indianapolis’ Week 5 victory over the Tennessee Titans.

“He’s most likely going to be out for the rest of the year. I mean, it’s not final, but he’s probably going to miss this year and we’re going to have to deal with it.”

Among the decisions is whether Richardson’s injury should be surgically repaired or whether continuing rehabilitation would be enough to fix the problem. Irsay said surgery seems more likely.

“There is a debate, but it will probably lead to surgery in the next week. We’re just trying to figure out exactly how, when, what we want to do and what Anthony wants to do.”

That last part, what Anthony Richardson prefers, is a key element, Irsay said. The final decision will be up to Richardson and those who advise him, although most players tend to follow medical advice. The organization is taking a very cautious approach to addressing Richardson’s injury given the importance of his health to the long-term future of the franchise.

Los Colts They lost their first game Sunday since Richardson was placed on injured reserve last week when they fell 37-20 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now they have a 3-3 record and host the Cleveland Browns in Week 7.

“We think we still have an excellent team. We’ll take them one at a time,” Irsay reflected.
