Richardson, who made his first Pro Bowl last season, will not be eligible to return until the Jets’ Week 6 matchup against Washington since they have a bye during Week 5.

I apologize for letting down my family, teammates, this organization and the fans. 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.
