Report details Colts’ issues with Richardson

Published

on

Trent Richardson’s two-game suspension by the Indianapolis Colts was the culmination of a season in which the running back gained weight and failed to communicate with the team, according to a report.

Already in the doghouse for gaining 15 pounds during the season, Richardson was suspended before the AFC Championship Game because he missed the walkthrough without alerting the team, ESPN.com reported. Richardson later said it was a family emergency and his cell phone was not working.

Listed at 5 feet 9 and 225 pounds, Richardson gained 15 pounds after a hamstring injury at midseason last year, ESPN.com reported.

He still has one game left on the two-game suspension — if he is still on the team next season. The team could decide to let him go and void $3.1 million in guarantees, according to ESPN.com.

Richardson, 24, was acquired from the Cleveland Browns for a first-round pick in 2013. In 29 games, he has run for 977 yards and six touchdowns.
