INDIANAPOLIS — Rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson will rehabilitate from season-ending shoulder surgery in Indianapolis, Colts coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday. Steichen said Richardson will remain on the West Coast for “a little bit.” “Just to confirm, Anthony’s surgery went well yesterday,” Steichen said. “The NFL admits and understands that they did not make the correct calls at end of Sunday’s Colts/Browns Game,” Irsay also wrote. “I believe we need to institute Instant Replay for all calls, including Penalties, in the last two minutes of All Games.” Steichen declined to comment on Irsay’s remarks, but inside the locker room, players blamed themselves for the loss.
