The Bears waived Richardson on Tuesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Undrafted out of TCU earlier this year, Richardson reportedly flashed during training camp, according to Biggs, and is a candidate to rejoin the Bears on the practice squad if he clears waivers. Richardson played 46 offensive snaps during the preseason and caught four of six targets for 28 yards. He also recently dealt with an ankle injury.

Bears' JP Richardson: Exits with ankle injury

Richardson (ankle) is doubtful to return to Sunday's preseason contest against the Bills, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Richardson picked up an ankle injury in the second half versus Buffalo, which will bring his night to a premature end. The wide receiver caught two of four targets for 21 yards before his departure. Richardson is battling for a spot on Chicago's 53-man roster, and he'll look to return to action in Friday's preseason finale against the Chiefs.
