you ain't lying

it may be pre-mature to think he is in immediate doubt to start the season, but I would bet anything Andrews is gonna cut his arse back open. If he misses the rest of camp and pre season I am gonna steer clear for the first 7 rounds.

they drafted him knowing that he had a knee issues

They were just dumb....let a healthy 26 y/o Hillis go who they could have signed for $2.5 million/year to sign an unproven guy with a knee injury for $5/million per year.

PER CBS SPORTS

quote:

News: Cleveland running back Trent Richardson may miss his first preseason game Friday at Detroit as concern is starting to build around his sore left knee. The highly regarded rookie was not in pads with his left leg wrapped and did not participate in practice at all on Tuesday. "There's a chance he won't play on Friday," coach Pat Shurmur said. "He's got a sore knee and is being evaluated." Richardson's issue could stem from the arthroscopic surgery he had in February to repair a torn meniscus. "It was a little scope," Richardson said at the time. "I don't even call it a setback." Analysis: Richardson's procedure was one of the reasons he did not fully participate in the NFL combine in April. However, that didn't keep Cleveland from trading up to No. 3 in the draft and giving him a four-year, $20.5 million contract. But now there is slight concern, especially after his early positive reviews in camp. Richardson is poised for a heavy workload in his rookie season and could push 300 carries as the Browns lack quality reserve options. He should be targeted as a No.1 Fantasy running back with a pick beginning early in the second round -- as long as he's healthy. From Cbssports.com

Exactly...how many rookie starting NFL RBs stay healthy? Especially those with an injury history? I was always going to steer clear of TR. Now, it's a lock.

In my opinion, this was a con job

they knew he needed more work done but to say so would have dropped him in the draft..

So they say "minor scope" to keep him out of the Combine without alerting the NFL teams.

Now it's been 6 months for the scope to heal, Doctors can now perform the more serious procedures that he needs without it costing him Millions.

so he's having surgery now. just got this email from draftsharks

** ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Browns RB Trent Richardson is "tentatively" expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery to "clean up a loose particle of cartilage" in his left knee. It's the same knee that Richardson had scoped back in February. It's been giving him trouble recently, and the surgery is considered "minor" and "proactive." Still, the procedure will put Richardson's availability for the season-opener in question -- not to mention costing him valuable training camp reps. That left knee will be a concern all year too, especially for a guy who's never handled the rigors of a 16-game NFL season. Richardson is looking like a much riskier pick now than he was 24 hours ago. We just bumped him down our rankings. If T-Rich does miss time this season, Montario Hardesty and Brandon Jackson would likely split backfield duties. Neither would be a strong fantasy play.

Hillis wanted too much money, became a total prick, and really isn't all that great. The Browns made the right move getting rid of him
