sounds like they got a 1-week roster exemption so no move needs to be made just yet

Thanks to the Media Relations Department of the Jets, here are some interesting quotes direct from head coach Todd Bowles on the return of Richardson:
On getting Sheldon Richardson back…
It gives us an extra weapon, extra depth down there. I mean, he’s a Pro Bowl player, he’s a heck of a player. (We) have to get him back in football shape and get him in the rotation and keep moving forward.
On if he has received an indication from the NFL if Richardson will receive extra discipline…
No, we still haven’t.
On if it will be a challenge to incorporate Richardson into the rotation with the way Leonard Williams and Muhammad Wilkerson have been playing…
No, you don’t have a challenge finding places for good players to play. You just play them.
On if he’s spoken to Richardson about returning…
I have not spoken to him since last week, before we left to go to London. But, he was here every day in meetings and everything else and working out and he was doing fine.
On if team will receive a roster exemption for Richardson…
We have about a week. We don’t have to do anything until next week.
