The Paul Richardson gamble takes another misstep

Paul Richardson is set to miss another game.

The Washington Redskins will miss wideout Paul Richardson again over the weekend as the veteran will sit out with a hamstring injury.

It resembles the latest stumble for Richardson’s tenure with the team since coming over at the start of 2018 in free agency. Coming out of this weekend he’ll have missed two games this year after missing nine games in his debut season with the team.

This after Richardson missed more than one game just once over four years in Seattle. There, his lone best season produced 700-plus yards and six scores.

In Washington on a $40 million deal, Richardson has yet to surpass the 300-yard mark on a season or score more than twice, This year, he’s gone over the 50-yard mark once.

Admittedly, Richardson had to leap the hurdle of getting acclimated to a new team and the quarterback situation has been anything but stable. But the longer this concerning trend continues, the more the signing looks like a bust.

Just a few games remain to change the narrative here before the Redskins approach another offseason sure to feature plenty of change.
