The Indianapolis Colts won this weekend’s game against the Tennessee Titans, but they suffered a pretty brutal personnel loss as rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson suffered a pretty brutal shoulder injury that will keep him out for as long as a month. And it looks like the team is already working on some plans to add depth to the quarterback position as a result.
According to a report from league insider Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Indianapolis Colts are working out several veteran quarterbacks in an effort to bolster their quarterback position.
“With Anthony Richardson sidelined, sources say the #Colts worked out a group of veteran QBs, including Kellen Mond, Ian Book, Holton Ahlers, and Trace McSorley,” Garafolo said in a post on X, the social media website formerly known as Twitter.
Obviously, none of these players are big-time stars – at least at the NFL level – but it’s clear that the Colts are intent on adding depth to the position, and the NFL world had plenty to say about it on Twitter as a result.
The only guy that can make this QB room more fun is Trace McSorley https://t.co/qBj9538N4D

I understand why the Colts don't specifically, but it's insane to me with all these QB questions not a single team has even been linked to contacting Carson Wentz https://t.co/mL1xYkg5PS

Crazy – I would have thought the QB Free Agent Market was full of top tier guys even if it was about adding depth behind Minshew… I swear I heard that was the case for the Jets about 4 weeks ago. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 https://t.co/Qse1GGMW8F

Colts doing their due-diligence to bring in an emergency QB with Richardson likely out for some time. https://t.co/WVXWqf7aWp

Obviously, Gardner Minshew will serve as the Colts starting quarterback with Richardson sidelined, but one of these guys will likely be added to the roster to add some depth.
