Richardson is pushing A.J. Cann for the starting spot at right guard, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson received the start in Thursday's preseason contest with the rest of the starting offensive line, and he played 28 offensive snaps and committed two false starts. The 23-year-old saw his rookie season come to an end in mid-October due to a knee injury but he appears to be coming on strong in year two.

Richardson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reported.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson's knee injury is seemingly serious enough to place the backup on injured reserve. The transaction makes room on the Jaguars' roster for running back Carlos Hyde, who the team traded for Friday.

Richardson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson was a surprise addition to Jacksonville's injury report Thursday, and did not practice Friday. Expect an update on the backup right tackle's health if he does not play Week 7.

Richardson did not play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Saints due to a shoulder injury, Mike Kaye of FirstCoastNews.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity and specifics of Richardson's injury are currently unclear. The 2018 fourth-round pick should start the season as a backup tackle for the Jaguars.

The Jaguars selected Richardson in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 129th overall.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson has the frame of an NFL tackle, checking in at 6-foot-6 and 322 pounds to go with 35.25-inch hands. He has explosive lower body strength, exhibited with a 31-inch vertical and 108-inch broad jump at the combine. And it shows up on tape with his anchor ability that lets him slow down opposing pass rushers. He'll be a backup tackle to begin his career that could be the bookend opposite Cam Robinson down the line.
