Coach Shane Steichen noted Monday that Richardson (right shoulder) "should be" OK for the Colts' OTAs, which take place in May and early June, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports. "I like where he's at," Steichen said of Richardson, who is bouncing back from surgery that he underwent on his throwing shoulder in October. "He's progressing really, really well. He's just getting better and better." Per James Boyd of The Athletic, Richardson began throwing again last month, and, considering that, the 2023 first-rounder figures to be eased back into his on-field participation, at least initially. In any case, assuming no setbacks, Richardson is set to reclaim his role as the Colts' starting quarterback this coming season, with veteran signal-caller Joe Flacco now on board to work as the team's top backup.

Anthony Richardson : Should be ready for OTAs
Coach Shane Steichen noted Monday that Richardson (right shoulder) "should be" OK for the Colts' OTAs, which take place in May and early June, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports. "I like where he's at," Steichen said of Richardson, who is bouncing back from surgery that he underwent on his throwing shoulder in October. "He's progressing really, really well. He's just getting better and better." Per James Boyd of The Athletic, Richardson began throwing again last month, and, considering that, the 2023 first-rounder figures to be eased back into his on-field participation, at least initially. In any case, assuming no setbacks, Richardson is set to reclaim his role as the Colts' starting quarterback this coming season, with veteran signal-caller Joe Flacco now on board to work as the team's top backup.
Danny Pinter : Not going anywhere
Pinter (ankle) has re-signed with the Colts, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports. Pinter spent the entire 2023 season on Indy's injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Prior to that, he suited up for 46 games across his first three seasons with the team, which included seven starts. The 27-year-old will now continue looking to earn himself a bigger role with the club going forward.
Taven Bryan : Returning to Indianapolis
Bryan re-signed with the Colts on a one-year contract Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Bryan joined the franchise last season and appeared in all 17 games, recording 22 combined tackles, including 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble. He should carry over a similar depth role on the team's offensive line in 2024.
Trey Sermon : Re-signs with Indy
The Colts re-signed Sermon on Thursday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports. In 14 games for the Colts during the 2023 regular season, Sermon rushed 35 times (including 17 carries in Week 15) for 160 yards to go along with three catches for 13 yards. With Zack Moss now with the Bengals, Sermon will have a chance to carve out a complementary role behind starter Jonathan Taylor in 2024, but chances are Indianapolis will add further backfield depth via free agency or the draft.
Joe Flacco : Inking with Indy
The Colts and Flacco agree to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract worth up to $8.7 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Flacco's deal reportedly includes $4.5 million guaranteed. The reigning NFL Comeback Player of the Year is coming off an impressive showing with Cleveland last season, having led the team to a playoff appearance, and he's now slated to replace Gardner Minshew as the top backup to second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder). All expectations in Indianapolis are that Richardson will be ready for training camp, and fully cleared well ahead of Week 1, but Flacco makes for a capable backup should he be required to take the field during the 2024 season, in addition to being a valuable mentor.
Rigoberto Sanchez : Agrees to extension with Indy
The Colts will sign Sanchez to a three-year contract, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Sanchez has served as the primary punter and kickoff specialist in Indianapolis since the start of the 2017 season, and it doesn't seem like he's eager to leave any time soon. He was solid in 2023, averaging 48.3 yards per punt.
Genard Avery : Will get another chance with Indy
Avery (knee) re-signed with the Colts on Wednesday for a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Avery signed with Indianapolis last offseason, but he suffered an LCL and meniscus injury that required season-ending surgery during training camp. He'll now get a second chance with the team and will likely be working to earn a depth role on the defensive line.
Ronnie Harrison : Re-ups with Colts for one year
Harrison re-signed with the Colts on a one-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Harrison appeared in seven games for Indianapolis in 2023, notching 20 tackles (11 solo) and two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. He could be in line to compete for a starting role in 2024 if the Colts don't bring in another safety via free agency or the 2024 NFL Draft.
