Colts release RB Richardson

In a move long expected, the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday released running back Trent Richardson.

Richardson seemingly had worn out his welcome in Indianapolis long before the Colts signed running back Frank Gore this week.

Asked about Richardson at the Scouting Combine last month, general manager Ryan Grigson declined to address his future with the team.

“Those are team decisions and we’ll have those in house. We’ll look at everything,” Grigson said.

Richardson was suspended two games by the team before the AFC Championship Game loss to the New England Patriots due to failure to communicate with the team about why he missed a walkthrough practice. He cited a family emergency, which was related to his girlfriend facing potential complications with her pregnancy, according to the Indianapolis Star.

Richardson, 24, was acquired from the Cleveland Browns for a first-round pick in 2013. In 29 games with Indianapolis, he rushed for 977 yards and six touchdowns, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry.

The Browns drafted him in the first round in 2012, and he played 17 games over two seasons, amassing 1,055 yards and 11 touchdowns on 298 carries (3.5-yard average).
