Shane Steichen: Anthony Richardson’s outlook and recovery timeline remain unchanged after second opinion on shoulder.

Here’s a rewritten version of the provided text:

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson recently consulted a specialist in Los Angeles for a second opinion on his right (throwing) shoulder, according to head coach Shane Steichen. However, the evaluation did not alter the prognosis or rehabilitation plan for the quarterback.

Steichen noted that seeking a second opinion is a common practice and emphasized that Richardson’s recovery process remains unchanged. “There’s no set timeline for his return, but we’ll follow the rehab plan, and once doctors clear him to throw, we’ll gradually ease him back,” Steichen said.

Richardson will attend the Colts’ mandatory veteran minicamp, held Tuesday through Thursday at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center. Last week, Steichen confirmed that Richardson would sit out the rest of the team’s offseason program, ending with Thursday’s practice, due to irritation in the AC joint of his throwing shoulder. The coach added that he anticipates Richardson’s return at some point during training camp.
