Richardson totaled three solo tackles, a sack, two tackles for loss and a pass defensed in Thursday's 36-28 win over the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson got consistent penetration into the Steelers' backfield, causing a handful of negative plays. The 31-year-old veteran isn't the same difference-maker he was when he first broke into the league with the Jets, but he's still a serviceable contributor. Richardson needs another half a sack to reach three for the seventh time in nine seasons.

Richardson had one total tackle and one QB hurry in Sunday's overtime loss to the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson played 22 snaps on defense in a backup role on the defensive line. He'll likely have limited, but regular, playing time on the defensive line barring injury to starters. He has limited fantasy value as he's more of a run stuffer as well.

The Vikings have signed Richardson to a one-year, $3.6 million deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, the defensive tackle's deal could be worth up to $4.35 million with incentives. The 30-year-old, who logged 64 tackles and 4.5 sacks with the Browns last season, played for the Vikings in 2018 before inking a three-year, $36 million deal with Cleveland in free agency. Richardson was cut loose in April, in a move that freed up $11 million in cap space for the Browns, paving the way for him to return to the Minnesota, where he should bolster the team's interior pass rush.

The Browns released Richardson on Friday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move frees up around $12 million in cap space, helping make room for the team's recent edition of DE Jadeveon Clowney. The 30-year-old Richardson played all 32 regular-season games during his two years in Cleveland, recording 126 tackles and 7.5 snaps on 1,574 defensive snaps. He should be able to find a starting DT job with another team.

Richardson had three tackles and one pass defensed in Sunday's 22-17 playoff loss to the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson played all 18 games in 2020, the third consecutive season in which he did not miss a game.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson (neck) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the Steelers, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE 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.

Richardson had a team-high 10 tackles and blocked two kicks in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Browns.

EDGE 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.

Richardson (neck) is active for Sunday's game versus the Jets, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

EDGE 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.

Richardson (neck) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE 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.
