My understanding of Colts QB Anthony Richardson's injury is that he's dealing with inflammation in the surgically repaired AC joint and the recommendation is rest. The belief is this will not impact his availability for the start of training camp.

New at @cbssports.bsky.social: No one with the NFL had to explicitly say "18 games" at the league meetings this week because it was understood. Why the additional game is key in the league's big plans, and how it can come about www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl...

The Eagles have proposed a rule change that will align regular season overtime with the postseason. One 15-minute period where both teams get the opportunity to possess the ball. This proposal, per sources, has a strong chance to pass. I wrote about that last month www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl...
