Richardson doesn't make trip with Colts due to personal reasons
Indianapolis Colts running back Trent Richardson did not make the trip with the team to New England due to personal reasons according to Kevin Bowen of the Colts official website via Kevin Patra of NFL.com.
It's unknown at this time the specific reason for leaving the former first-round pick behind in the biggest game of the season.
Richardson's play never improved this season and his role was drastically diminished. He took one snap in the Wild Card round and was inactive last week. There was some speculation that Richardson's poor play and diminished duties were due to weight issues. The running back brushed off those theories this week.
The Colts will once again will lean on Daniel "Boom" Herron as the primary back with Zurlon Tipton as the backup.
