AFC Notes: Anthony Richardson, Stefon Diggs, Colts, Jaguars, Texans

Colts

Colts 2023 first-round QB Anthony Richardson underwent season-ending shoulder surgery, but HC Shane Steichen expects him to be ready to go at the start of the 2024 season.

“Heโ€™s in a really good spot,” Steichen said, via Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. “Had really good discussions that Iโ€™ll obviously keep private, but heโ€™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 weโ€™ll limit โ€” weโ€™ll obviously monitor it, make sure weโ€™re smart with that but heโ€™s in a really good place.”

“I mean, heโ€™s a competitor. I think most guys that are competitors that want to be great are going to want to push themselves. But again, weโ€™re just going to have to monitor it and then weโ€™ll go from there.”
