Asim Richards left Sunday's game against Carolina after suffering a knee injury in the fourth quarter, and he was listed as questionable to return. Mason Murphy stepped in at right tackle in his place.
The update came during the game, not as a full medical report, so it points only to the immediate change on the field. Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio reported the injury update as the game moved into its final quarter.
That matters because questionable to return leaves one key detail unanswered: whether Richards ever made it back onto the field. The lineup change was already made, but the injury status stopped short of saying how long he would be out or whether the switch at right tackle was temporary.
For now, the most concrete takeaway is simple. Richards was hurt in real time, Murphy handled the job behind him, and the final word on Richards' status was still left open by the end of the update.
