Former Jaguars OL Will Richardson Reportedly Suspended 3 Games amid Free Agency

Former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Will Richardson has been suspended for the first three games of the 2023 NFL season, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

It's unclear what drew the ban.

Richardson last played for the Jaguars in 2021, appearing in 13 games and making two starts. Jacksonville released him ahead of the 2022 season.

In September 2022, the 27-year-old was arrested in Florida on suspicion of driving under the influence. He was pulled over two days after the Jags had cut ties with him.

Jacksonville selected Richardson, who played collegiately at North Carolina State, in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL draft. He didn't get onto the field at all as a rookie and played fewer than half of the offensive snaps in 2019.

His usage continued to decline from there, though he at least managed to score a touchdown when he recovered a Trevor Lawrence fumble in the end zone in a 2021 loss to the New York Jets.

Given the fact he remains unsigned to this point in the offseason, Richardson appears to be facing an uphill climb back into the NFL. His three-game suspension won't help matters.
