The Washington Redskins placed wideout Paul Richardson on injured reserve Saturday, ending his second season with the team.
Richardson made it through just 10 games this year, catching 28 passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns.
So ends a disappointing second campaign with the Redskins before coming over in free agency. Last year, Richardson suited up for just seven games and caught 20 passes for 262 yards and two scores.
Richardson had never missed more than a single game in three of his first four seasons in the league in Seattle. During his contract year, he appeared in all 16 and caught six touchdowns while averaging a stellar 16 yards per catch.
Washington had hoped for something similar from Richardson as a deep threat. But the combination of learning a new system and locale, injuries and the ever-changing quarterback situation has dashed the idea.
The Redskins built an out into Richardson’s contract after this season, otherwise, he’s under contract for three more years.
