Richardson was waived by the Steelers in order to make room from defensive end Johnny Maxey, who was signed off the team’s 10-man practice squad.
After starting the 2016 regular season on the Steelers 53-man roster, the running back was waived and then signed to the practice squad after starting running back Le’Veon Bell finished serving his three-game suspension.
Richardson was then signed back to the Steelers 53-man roster in Week 10 after running back DeAngelo Williams suffered a knee injury in the week 9 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Richardson only dressed for a handful of games for the Steelers while on their 53-man roster and has two carries for 7 yards in his limited playing time.
