Gronk Owning the Colts' Vibe, Ain't No Sweat: Rob Gronkowski Unleashed on Indy 500

Rob Gronkowski, the gridiron beast, spilled some tea about feeling right at home at the Indy 500. He claimed he'd been the boss of those Colts for a decent chunk of his sporting career.

Anthony Richardson, our boy under center, is stepping into his third year, but the battle for the starter's job in 2025 ain't gonna be a walk in the park, especially with this latest hurdle. Richardson's shoulder injury on his throwin' arm is sidelining him for this year's minicamp. Steichen, their coach, confirmed the news, stating that Rich's got some AC joint aggravation, and we can't slap a timetable on his Training Camp return.

Oh, and Richardson aggravated the shoulder injury back during their Organized Team Activities in the previous week. Good news, though—no surgery's needed at the moment. But, if you're keener on medical jargon, the doctors are going to ease him back into throwing gently once he's recovered.

Meanwhile, Daniel Jones has inked a one-year deal with the boys in blue. With the New York Giants tossing Jones to the curb mid-2024 due to his struggles, he's joined the Colts to stir up some competition for Anthony Richardson. With Jones stepping in if needed, ya gotta admit it's a smart move.

Richardson's contended with his fair share of injuries, remember? In his rookie year, he was careening down the sidelines with one arm tied behind his back due to a season-ending shoulder injury after just four games and an oblique injury in 2024 that kept him off the pitch for two games.

Last season, Steichen benched Richardson after numerous misfires. But this year, Jones is here to blow the dust off the QB gloves and challenge Richardson's grip on the starting role. Frustrating, huh, Richardson? But he's keeping a brave face. See ya when you're back on the field, champ.
