Trent Richardson did not make the trip with the Indianapolis Colts to play the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game for personal reasons.

Richardson was a healthy inactive last week against the Denver Broncos.

Richardson has struggled since coming to the Colts in 2013 from the Cleveland Browns for a first round pick.

"I'm dealing with a very serious family emergency," said Richardson to Mike Wells of ESPN. "I'm still at the hospital. I wouldn't purposely just miss walk through."
