Colts RB Richardson was suspended
The Indianapolis Colts suspended running back Trent Richardson for two games for “personal reasons,” general manager Ryan Grigson said Friday.
After being inactive for the Colts’ divisional win against the Denver Broncos, Richardson said “that situation will never happen to me again.” He then missed the Colts’ walkthrough before the AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots because of what he called “a very serious family emergency.”
He missed that game due to what the Colts called “personal reasons,” but on Friday Grigson told reporters that Richardson had in fact been suspended for two games. Grigson did not elaborate on the reason or say whether Richardson would sit out the second game next season.
Grigson traded a first-round pick to the Cleveland Browns in October 2013 for Richardson, but the former No. 3 overall pick has not played to that standard. He rushed for just 519 yards in 2014, averaging 3.3 yards per carry, and has just 2,032 rushing yards in his three-year career.
Asked whether Richardson would be back with the team in 2015, Grigson said, “Every situation is different. Every player and how we deal with him is gonna be different. But he’ll be lumped into that conversation with guys this offseason — where’s he fit? Where is he going? Is his arrow up, down, sideways, 45-degree angle? — and we gotta figure all these things out.”
