Colts GM: QB Anthony Richardson 'full go' for camp
The Indianapolis Colts say quarterback Anthony Richardson remains a "full go" for training camp despite shoulder soreness the second-year player experienced earlier this month. Colts general manager Chris Ballard said the team is not concerned about the shoulder fatigue Richardson felt at the end of organized team activities and minicamp. Richardson, 22, underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in 2023 after suffering an AC joint sprain in Week 5. "He'll be full go," Ballard said on the GM Shuffle podcast. "He was full go all the way up until the last day of OTAs, and we had two heavy throwing sessions the two days before, and so we backed off a little on the last day." Richardson was a full participant throughout OTAs and Day 1 of minicamp. He left Day 2 of minicamp early and sat out the final day. Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft, completed 59.5 percent of his passes for 577 yards, three touchdowns and one interception over four starts to begin his career. He also picked up 136 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. --Field Level Media

Georgia lands 5-star defensive end Isaiah Gibson after USC decommitment
Five-star defensive end Isaiah Gibson committed to Georgia on Monday less than a week after the touted recruit withdrew his original pledge to USC. The Warner Robins, Ga., native is the No. 17 overall recruit and the top-rated edge rusher in 247Sports' class of 2025 rankings. He committed to USC in March before pulling away last Tuesday. Gibson recently visited Ohio State, Tennessee and Auburn and also had offers from Texas and Alabama. The Bulldogs remained keen on the 6-foot-4, 245-pound prospect even after he committed to USC. Gibson told Dawgs247 that Georgia head coach Kirby Smart texted him "one minute" after he pledged to USC, while other Bulldogs coaches reached out to him, as well. "Everybody was like they're going to be there until the end," Gibson said. Gibson is Georgia's third five-star commit from the class of 2025, joining linebacker Zayden Walker (No. 10 recruit) and tight end Elyiss Williams (No. 21). The Bulldogs' newest defensive end tallied 17 sacks as a junior at Warner Robins High School last fall. --Field Level Media
