Colts GM Chris Ballard recently spoke at a press conference, addressing several topics, including the contract situation of wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and the rehabilitation progress of quarterback Anthony Richardson.
Ballard mentioned that talks have been held with Pittman’s agent regarding a potential deal, but he did not confirm whether or not the franchise tag would be used.
The goal is to reach an agreement and find a compromise that satisfies both parties.
Regarding Richardson, Ballard revealed that the quarterback is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a shoulder injury that prematurely ended his rookie season.
However, the Colts are taking a cautious approach, ensuring they follow the advice of doctors and not rush his rehabilitation process.

Richardson has shown positive signs with his throwing program and has a competent support system. Ballard draws from his past experience managing Andrew Luck’s injury to guide Richardson’s recovery.
The Colts organization is paying close attention to Richardson’s progress, prioritizing his long-term well-being and success.
Ballard’s measured approach, influenced by past lessons, reflects the importance of patience and thoroughness in rehabilitation.
Given the significant impact injuries can have on a player’s career, the Colts are optimistic about Richardson’s eventual return to the field.
His recovery will be closely monitored, with the team committed to supporting him throughout the process.
