Sheldon Richardson Awaits Legal Process, Ruling On Suspension

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Sheldon Richardson is eager to find out when he’ll be able to play this season.

The New York Jets defensive lineman has already been suspended the first four regular-season games by the NFL. He’s awaiting word on if he’ll have to sit out a few more.

“When I get the date of when I actually can return, then I can actually start moving forward,” Richardson said after practice Wednesday. “Until then, it’s just going to be a cloud over my head.”

Richardson was suspended July 2 for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
