The junior went into the season with high expectations after spending most of 2017 dealing with various injuries. But he appeared to hurt his knee in the opener against LSU, and no updates have been given on his status beyond being day-to-day.
The former four-star recruit was a freshman All-American in 2016, with 49 catches for 934 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
ESPN’s Todd McShay had Richards as the No. 9 wide receiver for 2019 in his preseason rankings, while Mel Kiper Jr. had him as the No. 4 wideout among underclassman.
Richards would be the second Miami player in the past year to see his career end because of a neck injury. Malek Young injured his neck in the Orange Bowl and remains on scholarship as a student assistant.
