Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson underwent a procedure to correct his deviated septum and missed Monday’s training camp sessions.
The Colts said Richardson, drafted fourth overall in April, would return Tuesday “depending on how he feels.”
Snoring, sleep apnea and breathing during intense exercise can result from a deviated septum, the medical description applied to the wall between nostrils being out of alignment.
Richardson is competing for the No. 1 quarterback job under first-year head coach Shane Steichen.
His primary competitor, Gardner Minshew II, worked with the first-team offense, which is without running back Jonathan Taylor.
The Colts listed Taylor with ankle and back injuries as his status becomes more uncertain following a meeting with owner Jim Irsay on Saturday. Taylor, who said he was told the team wouldn’t make him a contract offer until after the upcoming season, denied via social media that he has a back injury.
Per reports, the Colts are considering using the “non-football injury” or NFI designation to avoid paying Taylor while he’s out.
Richardson, 21, played in 24 games over three seasons at Florida. He started 12 games in the 2022 season, posting a 6-6 record. He completed 176 passes for 2,549 yards with 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
He ran 103 times for 654 yards with nine scores.
