In 2018, Richardson appeared in seven games for the Redskins and caught 20 passes for 262 yards receiving and two touchdowns.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Redskins G Brandon Scherff is believed to have suffered a torn pec based on the initial diagnosis.

According to Rapoport, Scherff will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, but it’s clear he’s likely to miss time and possibly the remainder of the season.

Scherff, 26, is a former No. 5 overall pick by the Redskins out of Iowa in the 2015 NFL Draft. He is entering the final year of his four-year, $21.215 million fully guaranteed rookie contract and is set to earn a base salary of $705,000  for 2018 to go along with a $2,623,041 roster bonus.

The Redskins picked up Scherff’s fifth-year option this past May that will pay him $12,525,000 for the 2019 season.

In 2018, Scherff appeared in eight games.
