Monday in Indianapolis wasn't just another day of OTAs; it was a day that marked a seismic shift for the franchise's future, both in the owner's box and under center. The Colts officially ushered in a new era of leadership with a groundbreaking ownership transition, while simultaneously providing a much-needed dose of cautious optimism regarding the health of franchise quarterback Anthony Richardson.
He will 1,000% be ready for training camp.
In a landmark move for the NFL, the Colts announced that ownership of the franchise will transition to Jim Irsay's three daughters: Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt, and Kalen Jackson. This makes the Colts one of the very few teams with female majority ownership, creating a powerful and historic trio at the helm. This isn't just a headline; it's a statement about the future and stability of the organization, ensuring the Irsay family's passionate stewardship continues for a new generation. For fans, it signals continuity and a deep, personal commitment to bringing a championship back to Indianapolis.
While the front office news is monumental, the update every fan was waiting for concerned Anthony Richardson's surgically-repaired right shoulder. After being sidelined with soreness, the team confirmed Richardson will sit out the remainder of OTAs and this week's mandatory minicamp (June 10-12) to rest. The good news? According to insiders like Tom Pelissero and Albert Breer, this is a precautionary measure due to overworking the shoulder this offseason, not a structural re-injury. The team is simply playing the long game, prioritizing a full recovery to avoid any setbacks. The plan is to gradually ramp up his throwing workload with an eye on a return early in training camp.
So what's the bottom line? The Colts are being smart. The worst-case scenario isn't Richardson missing minicamp in June; it's re-aggravating the injury in August. By shutting him down now, they ensure he gets the rest needed to be, as Pelissero reported, '1,000% be ready for training camp.' This cautious approach, backed by a new ownership group invested in long-term success, is exactly what you want to see. The two biggest stories of the day are intertwined: a stable, forward-thinking front office is making the right call to protect its most valuable on-field asset for the marathon, not the sprint.
With the ownership structure now firmly in place for the next generation, the Colts' front office has its foundation. Now, all attention shifts to the foundation on the field. The upcoming mandatory minicamp will feel a bit hollow without QB1, but it's a small price to pay for a healthy start to training camp. The new era in Indianapolis officially begins when Anthony Richardson steps back under center, and for now, all signs point to that happening right on schedule in late July.
