Finishes strong season
Richardson had three tackles and one pass defensed in Sunday's 22-17 playoff loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Richardson played all 18 games in 2020, the third consecutive season in which he did not miss a game. The defensive tackle finished with 64 tackles, 4.5 sacks, three passes defensed and one forced fumble. The 30-year-old lineman has one year left on his contract -- but no guaranteed money -- and is expected to return for 2021.

Ready to rock
Richardson (neck) is active for Sunday's wild-card game in Pittsburgh, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: Richardson was initially listed as questionable to play Sunday, but he'll be available against Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers. The veteran defensive tackle notched 4.5 sacks across 16 regular-season games.

Questionable for wild-card game
Richardson (neck) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the Steelers, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Richardson has played in each of the last two games despite this neck injury, so he's on the right track for Sunday's game after logging a trio of limited practices this week. The 30-year-old posted 64 tackles, 4.5 sacks and three pass breakups through 16 games this year, and he's set for a massive role against the division rival.

Makes impact on special teams
Richardson had a team-high 10 tackles and blocked two kicks in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Richardson had a big day against his former team. He blocked an extra-point kick then a field-goal attempt, which turned out to be a momentum shift for the Browns. For the season, Richardson has 64 tackles and 4.5 sacks.

Good to go Sunday
Richardson (neck) is active for Sunday's game versus the Jets, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: Richardson will avoid missing his first game since the 2017 season. The veteran defensive tackle has tallied 54 tackles, 4.5 sacks and three pass breakups through 14 games this year. He stands a good chance to add to his sack total this week, as Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has been sacked on 9.1 percent of dropbacks this year, the second-most in the league.

Officially listed as questionable
Richardson (neck) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Richardson fully practiced Friday and is certainly trending in a positive direction ahead of Sunday's contest, but he still carries a questionable tag heading into Week 16. Richardson had played at least 50 defensive snaps in each of the four weeks leading up to the Week 15 matchup against the Giants, when he left the game with a neck injury.

Expected to suit up against ex-team
Richardson (neck) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Richardson is trending in a positive direction for Week 16, aligning the 30-year-old for a potential matchup against his former team of four years. The Missouri product has spent more time with the Jets than any other team in his NFL career, notching his lone Pro Bowl nod during 2014 while composing an eight-sack campaign for Gang Green. With an appearance against New York, Richardson would maintain a total of two game absences since the start of 2016.

Highly questionable for Week 16
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Richardson (neck) may not practice this week, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Stefanski did add that Richardson will be fine in the long term, and that X-rays came back negative. However, if the veteran defensive tackle doesn't practice all week, it's unlikely he'll play this Sunday against the Jets, which drafted him in the first round in 2013. Vincent Taylor and rookie Jordan Elliott are both options to start at defensive tackle if Richardson indeed sits out.

X-rays negative
Richardson (neck) returned negative X-ray results after Sunday night's 20-6 win over the Giants, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: Richardson was forced out of Sunday's game in the second half with a neck injury, so at least encouraging to see that his X-ray results have delivered good news. The veteran defensive tackle is a key cog in Cleveland's run defense, so his status will warrant monitoring ahead of Dec. 27's game against the Jets.

Suffers neck injury
Richardson (neck) will not return to Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Richardson had one solo tackle before being forced off the field in the second half. As long as he's sidelined, Jordan Elliott and Vincent Taylor will be candidates to handle increased roles alongside Larry Ogunjobi on the interior of Cleveland's defensive line.

Key stops in Week 13
Richardson had four tackles, one quarterback hit and a forced fumble in Week 13's 41-35 win over Tennessee.
Analysis: Richardson played a key role in accelerating the Browns' lead in the first half. He stopped the NFL's leading rusher, Derrick Henry, on a fourth-and-1 at the Cleveland 41-yard-line. That led to the Browns driving down the field for a touchdown. On the next series, he stripped Henry of the football, which Karl Joseph recovered at the Tennessee 21, leading to another touchdown and a 17-0 lead. The Browns were able to build momentum toward a 38-7 halftime lead and held on for their fourth straight…read more

Collects sack in Week 10 win
Richardson registered six total tackles, including one sack and two QB hits, during Sunday's 10-7 win against the Texans.
Analysis: Richardson has been a rock for Cleveland's front this season, starting all nine games for the Browns while logging 3.5 sacks and a total of 38 tackles. The Missouri product has been enjoying an uptick in pass-rushing success of late, notching four QB hits over his past three outings after registering just two combined Weeks 1 through 6. He's second on the team in QB hits (six) behind Myles Garrett (14) heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Eagles. Carson Wentz has been sacked at a…read more

Notches seven stops
Richardson made seven tackles -- 1.5 for a loss -- and a half sack in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Richardson was a part of a crucial sack in the second quarter, as the Bengals were at the Browns' 11-yard line, but rookie quarterback Joe Burrow was taken down by Richardson and cornerback Kevin Johnson, forcing a field goal. With 2.5 sacks through seven games, Richardson is on track to reach his highest total since the 2014 season (eight), and his average of four tackles per game represents a solid IDP floor as well.

Cleared for Week 5
Richardson (thigh) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: The 29-year-old began the week not practicing, but he progressed to full participation Friday and is clear of the questionable tag. Richardson has played two-thirds of the defensive snaps through four games and has 14 total tackles and two sacks.

Dealing with injury
Richardson (thigh) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Richardson suffered the injury, as he logged 54 defensive snaps during Week 4's victory over Dallas. Expect Richardson's practice availability throughout the week to paint a better picture, but if he's forced to miss Sunday's game against the Colts, Jordan Elliott and Vincent Taylor would be in line for an uptick in snaps.

Notches sack against Washington
Richardson recorded four tackles, a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 34-20 win over Washington.
Analysis: Richardson now has two sacks through three games, and he sits just one sack shy of last year's total through 16 games. The 29-year-old has also played at least 61 percent of defensive snaps in every game this season. He doesn't pile up tackles, but the recent trend in sacks is encouraging for his IDP prospects.

Gets first sack in Week 2
Richardson racked up six tackles (four solo), a sack and two tackles for loss in Thursday's 35-30 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Richardson lived in the Bengals' backfield against an underwhelming offensive line. The sack was his first of the season. Richardson totaled eight sacks in his second NFL season with the Jets back in 2014, but he hasn't mustered more than five in any season since, and he's unlikely to challenge that career-high number now that he's playing more of an interior role at this stage of his career.

Has strong first season with Browns
Richardson totaled 62 tackles, three sacks, four passes defensed and three forced fumbles over 16 games in 2019.
Analysis: Richardson topped the 60-tackle threshold for the first time in three seasons and the fourth time in his career. The interior defensive lineman, who signed a three-year deal with the Browns prior to the season, was a nice addition to a unit that put pressure on opposing quarterbacks. That pressure dissipated over the course of the season as Myles Garret was suspended and Olivier Vernon was saddled with a knee injury, but they finished seventh in passing yards allowed. Stopping the run, however,…read more

Suiting up against Bengals
Richardson (back) is active Week 17 against Cincinnati.
Analysis: Richardson has made multiple appearances on the injury report in December due to back problems, but those issues have yet to prevent him from playing, and Sunday will be no different. He'll enter Week 17 ranked third on the team in tackles with 59 -- his best single-season mark since leaving the Jets following the 2016 campaign.

Officially listed as questionable
Richardson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Richardson logged a trio of limited practice sessions this week, and he appears to have a good shot at suiting up for Sunday's divisional tilt. The veteran defensive tackle was also initially listed as questionable for Week 16's game against the Ravens before managing to play his usual starting role.

Stuffs stat sheet Sunday
Richardson recorded three tackles (all solo), two passes defensed and a forced fumble across 56 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Richardson was questionable heading into the contest due to a back injury, but the defensive tackle clearly wasn't slowed down when he stepped on the field. The veteran will now shift his focus to Sunday's season finale against the Bengals.

Set to play vs. BAL
Richardson (back) is active Week 16 against Baltimore.
Analysis: Richardson moved to defensive end for the Week 15 matchup against Arizona, but it's unclear if his season-low tackle total was due to the move, or perhaps the fact his health wasn't quite at 100 percent. After logging a limited practice Friday, however, the 29-year-old has been deemed healthy enough to suit up for the season's penultimate contest.

Likely to play
Richardson (back) is likely to play in the team's Week 16 contest against Baltimore, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Richardson appeared on the injury report Wednesday with a back injury but is trending in the direction of playing Sunday. However, he'll still have to participate in pregame warmups without any setbacks for his active status to be official. If Richardson were to be held out, Eli Ankou would be in line for more playing time.

Questionable Week 16
Richardson (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Richardson landed on the injury report with the back issue this week, and his availability for Sunday's matchup remains in the air. Olivier Vernon (knee) is also questionable, and the Browns can ill afford to go up against the Ravens' explosive offense while short-handed up front.

Back issues surface
Richardson (back) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Richardson started this past Sunday's loss to the Cardinals at defensive end instead or his typical role at tackle, and he made a season-low one tackle. The severity of Richardson's back injury is unclear, but the Browns' defensive front could be in rough shape if he and Olivier Vernon (knee) can't play Week 16 against the Ravens.

Quiet in new role
Richardson had one assisted tackle during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Richardson worked as a defensive end Week 15 and led Browns' defensive linemen with 48 defensive snaps, but he didn't find much success versus Arizona. It was the first time this season the veteran defensive tackle failed to make multiple tackles.

Will bump to defensive end
Richardson is expected to start at defensive end in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Since Olivier Vernon (knee) has been ruled out, Richardson will be deployed as a defensive end. Richardson has experience in this role, as played there in the Jets 3-4 scheme from 2013 until 2016. Eli Ankou will likely start at defensive tackle in Richardson's place.

Records first sacks
Richardson had five tackles, three quarterback hits, a forced fumble and two sacks in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Dolphins in Week 12.
Analysis: Richardson is the lone remaining member among the group that began the season as Cleveland's starting defensive line. With Olivier Vernon (knee), Myles Garrett (suspension) and Larry Ogunjobi (suspension) unavailable, depth on the line was put to a test. Richardson responded with his best game of the season, recording his first sacks while also lining up at defensive end at times.
