“I apologize for letting down my family, teammates, this organization and the fans,” Richardson said in a statement sent through the team. “However, words aren’t enough. This is something that can only be addressed by how I handle myself from this point on. I don’t want this to take away from what the team is trying to accomplish. While I won’t be there at the start of the regular season, I will do whatever I can to support my teammates until I’m able to return to the field.”
In a separate statement, coach Todd Bowles called the news “disappointing” and said that the Jets will “keep moving forward with our preparations” for the 2015 season.
Those preparations will likely include a larger role for first-round pick Leonard Williams (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/10428/leonard-williams), who will likely join Muhammad Wilkerson (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6464/muhammad-wilkerson) and Damon Harrison (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7885/damon-harrison) as the team’s top linemen until Richardson can return.
