IR rules have been modified over the last few years.
This move means that Richardson will be out at least 4 weeks and won't count towards the 53 man roster.
This transaction seemed inevitable considering the reports that even the non-surgerical routes would take at least four weeks.
Teams can bring back players from the IR list 8 times over the course of the season. So in other words, there is no maximum to the number of players that can be placed on IR, but teams only have 8 "activations" per season to bring them back to the active roster.
