Richardson racked up six tackles (four solo), a sack and two tackles for loss in Thursday's 35-30 win over the Bengals.

EDGE 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.

Richardson totaled 62 tackles, three sacks, four passes defensed and three forced fumbles over 16 games in 2019.

EDGE 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, was more problematic. Cleveland ranked 30th (144.7 yards per game allowed), and Richardson could use help in that area. After hiring a new head coach and on the lookout for a new general manager, the Browns are in the midst of personnel changes, but Richardson is expected to anchor the interior of the line in 2020.

Richardson (back) is active Week 17 against Cincinnati.

EDGE 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.

Richardson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE 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.

Richardson recorded three tackles, all solo, two passes defensed and a forced fumble across 56 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

EDGE 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.

Richardson (back) is active Week 16 against Baltimore.

EDGE 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.

Richardson (back) is likely to play in the team's Week 16 contest against Baltimore, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

EDGE 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.

Richardson (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE 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.

Richardson (back) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE 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.

Richardson had one assisted tackle during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson worked a defensive end Week 15 and led Browns' defensive lineman 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.
