News

  • 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.

  • Active Saturday

    Richardson (abdomen) will play in Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

    Analysis: Richardson isn't expected to get much playing time Saturday after nursing an abdominal injury throughout the first half of August, but his return to the field is a promising sign with plenty of time remaining before Week 1 of the regular season. Trevon Coley and Carl Davis project to handle defensive tackle duties when Richardson is removed from Saturday's tilt.

  • Dealing with abdominal injury

    Richardson isn't practicing Friday due to an abdominal injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The specifics of the abdominal injury remain undisclosed, so there's no timetable for Richardson's return at this point. The 28-year-old inked a three-year, $39 million deal in March and figures to play a prominent role in Cleveland's defensive front. Trevon Coley and Brian Price should see increased reps while he remains sidelined.

  • Makes it official

    Richardson signed a three-year, $39 million contract with the Browns on Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Richardson was solid for the Vikings in 2018, recording 49 tackles (26 solo) and 4.5 sacks in 16 games. The 28-year-old should assume a starting role on a defensive line that includes DT Larry Ogunjobi and defensive ends Myles Garrett and Olivier Vernon.

  • Set to join Cleveland

    Richardson plans to sign a three-year deal with the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Richardson repaired his value in one season with Minnesota, piling up 49 tackles (26 solo), 16 quarterback hits and 4.5 sacks as a 16-game starter. He figures to operate as a starting defensive tackle in Cleveland's 4-3 defense, joining a line that includes DT Larry Ogunjobi and defensive ends Myles Garrett and Olivier Vernon. The Browns should have a formidable pass rush for the first time in recent memory.

  • Finishes 2018 with 4.5 sacks

    Richardson had 49 tackles (26 solo) and 4.5 sacks in 16 games this season.

    Analysis: Richardson signed a one-year, $8 million deal with the Vikings last March and started all 16 games, also eclipsing his sack total from the previous two seasons combined. The veteran defensive tackle played well and will hope his 2018 season garners some longer-term contract offers in free agency.

  • Ready for action

    Richardson (hip) is active Sunday against Miami.

    Analysis: Richardson was limited in practice each day this week but hasn't missed a game all year and doesn't intend for that to start in Week 15. He'll presumably line up again as a starting defensive tackle alongside Linval Joseph.

  • Dealing with hip injury

    Richardson is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphin with a hip injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Richardson was a limited participant at practice this week to earn the questionable tag, but he appears on track to play Sunday. Tom Johnson and Jaleel Johnson would see increased workloads at defensive tackle should Richardson be inactive Sunday.

  • Two sacks in Sunday's win

    Richardson had two sacks and seven total tackles in Sunday's win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: After six games without a sack, RIchardson has 2.5 sacks in his last three games. He's been getting consistent pressure on the quarterback with five QB hits and 17 QB hurries over his last nine games, according to Pro Football Focus, so he should be able to have more luck with sacks the final five games of the season.

  • Half sack in win

    Richardson recorded three tackles (one solo) and 0.5 sacks across 48 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Lions.

    Analysis: The Vikings set a franchise record with 10 sacks on the day. Richardson now has one sack on the season, which ties season totals from each of the past two seasons. The big run stuffer will now get a chance to rest up as the Vikings enter their bye week.
