The Indianapolis Colts will be getting back second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson this season following surgery to his throwing shoulder. The No. 4 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft was limited to just four games but provided evidence that he could be the starter moving forward.

Shane Steichen was asked whether or not it could be beneficial for the Colts to limit Richardson on running attempts to avoid further injury. The head coach responded fairly honestly, comparing his young signal-caller to Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors.
“People ask this, too, a lot,” Steichen said at a Thursday news conference. “It’s just like ‘Hey, are you gonna limit the run game?’ And I kind of think, like, shoot, are you gonna limit Steph Curry from shooting three-pointers? Well, that’s one of Anthony’s strengths. So, we’re not gonna get away from that. That’s what he does well.”
Richardson showed that he was extremely effective in running the ball in limited time this past season. Before his injury, he was firing on all cylinders and Indianapolis is excited about the potential he has going forward.
The second-year player echoed a similar sentiment to that of his head coach but wants to do what is best for the team. He knows that his legs are what makes him special as a talent but also that he has to be more careful when running the ball going forward.
“My legs [have] always been one of my superpowers,” Richardson said. “So, trying to take that away from me, I don’t think that’s a good thing for this offense. It’s just more so me playing a little bit smarter, and learning how to take care of myself and my teammates. Knowing when to make the right play and knowing when to try to get the extra few yards. Don’t take my legs away, but being more smart.”
Staying on the field will be crucial to the development of Richardson and the overall success of the Colts. Playing in the wide-open AFC South, Indianapolis could make some noise and get themselves back to the postseason for the first time since 2020.

ATLANTA (WISH) — Tyler Goodson, who played for the Indianapolis Colts the past three seasons, is joining a new team.
The Atlanta Falcons announced on Thursday that they have signed the free agent running back.
Goodson appeared in 33 games during his time in Indy, rushing for a total of 234 yards. He had one rushing touchdown back in 2024.
The rushing touchdown came during the Colts’ win over the Miami Dolphins that season. The rushing touchdown in that matchup was Goodson’s first career NFL touchdown during the regular season.
“For me it was a lot more exciting,” Goodson said following that game. “A moment I’ve been waiting for and it’s just surreal for me to be in this position. And I just thank God for it.”
Goodson also had 103 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown with the Colts. The receiving touchdown also came during the 2024 season, in a loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The move to the Falcons will be a homecoming of sorts for Goodson, who is a native of Suwanee, Georgia. He also attended North Gwinnett High School.
