Richardson, who is dealing with an oblique injury, practiced fully Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's practice session must not have been too strenuous, as despite Richardson's full participation, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the defensive tackle's status would come down to a game-time decision, according to Liz Matthews of USA Today. If Richardson checks out fine in pregame warmups, however, he should be cleared to take on his usual load of snaps.

Richardson recorded two tackles and 0.5 sacks in Sunday's win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson reached the quarterback for the first time this season on Sunday and now has 16 tackles on the year. His 54 defensive snaps also tied a season-high, as the defensive end continues to grow and learn in the Seahawks' defense.

Richardson hauled in the first interception of his career in Week 5's victory over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson saw a relatively limited workload in the contest, playing just 45 snaps (61.0 percent). However, he took advantage of his time on the field by picking off a short pass intended for Todd Gurley shortly before the fourth quarter.

The Jets traded Richardson and a 2018 seventh-round pick to the Seahawks in exchange for WR Jermaine Kearse, a 2018 second-round pick and a 2018 seventh-round pick, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seattle already had one of the best defenses in the league without Richardson. With him, they should be even better. However, the Seahawks took a gamble in trading for him, as Richardson is entering the last year of his rookie deal.

Richardson reported for the second day of voluntary offseason workouts, ESPN.com's Rich Cimini reports.
EDGE Analysis
The subject of frequent trade rumors the past two offseasons, Richardson is set to play out the final year of his rookie contract at the fifth-year option salary of approximately $8 million. With Muhammad Wilkerson already carrying a huge contract and Leonard Williams still on his rookie deal, the Jets aren't expected to work out an extension to retain Richardson beyond 2017. A trade might seem to make sense for the rebuilding franchise, but Richardson's salary and career trajectory would probably prevent the Jets from fetching anything more than a middle-round selection -- which is what the team will get as compensation if he leaves as an unrestricted free agent next offseason. He thus figures to stick around next to Williams and Wilkerson for one more year, giving the Jets a formidable defensive line amidst an otherwise barren roster. Richardson did have 62 tackles, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 15 games last season, partially making up for his career-low total of 1.5 sacks. His participation at the voluntary offseason program suggests he's fine with staying in New York for another season before hitting the open market next year.

Richardson had eight tackles, including a sack, during Sunday's win over the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
After picking up 13 sacks in 27 games over the last two years, Richardson has really struggled to get the quarterback this season, as he now has just 1.5 sacks through six games (he was suspended for the season-opener). Given his lack of sacks, and his fairly pedestrian tackle totals, he hasn't been a strong fantasy IDP option.

Richardson is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Bills after missing Week 1 because of a suspension, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson missed the team's opener due to a one-week suspension for violating the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. He'll be back at practice Monday and should return to the starting lineup at defensive end for the Jets' Week 2 matchup with the Bills. Richardson started 11 games during his 2015 campaign following a four-game suspension to start the year and finished with 35 tackles and five sacks.

Richardson (suspension) returned to practice Tuesday after a brief excused absence, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson was excused from practice for personal reasons over the weekend by coach Todd Bowles, but was able to return Tuesday. The Jets will be without Richardson for Week 1 due to a suspension, but they should have their starting defensive end throughout the remainder of training camp.

Richardson (suspension) has been excused from practice and is expected to miss a couple of days for personal reasons, the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson's personal matter will probably prevent him from practicing over the weekend, but his brief upcoming absence has been excused by coach Todd Bowles. Although Richardson is still suspended for Week 1, the Jets should still be looking forward to his return to training camp.

Richardson has been suspended for Week 1's matchup with the Bengals after violating the NFL Personal Conduct Policy, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson will be eligible to return to the active roster the Monday after Week 1 concludes. In January the defensive lineman pleaded guilty to resisting arrest following a road race incident that took place last July. As a Pro Bowler and former Defensive Rookie of the Year, Richardson plays an instrumental role in the Jets' hard-nosed defense but in his absence the team will likely turn to Leonard Williams and Jarvis Jenkins to carry more of a workload.
