Richards, on his probable return

Here’s what Mike Richards said today about his probable return to the lineup tomorrow. Richards was a full participant in practice today and said he has been cleared to play. Richards has been out of the lineup since he took a hit to the head in the Dec. 1 game against Florida.

RICHARDS: “We’ll see how today goes, and hopefully be back tomorrow. … I feel good. It’s nice to get out there with everyone. It’s a full practice, and not in between games here. There was a good pace out there today, and I’m excited for tomorrow. … I’m cleared to play, so it just depends on my progress today. If I feel good today, I’ll play tomorrow.’’
