Trent Richardson to consult Dr. James Andrews

Trent Richardson will travel to Pensacola (FL) on Thursday to have his left knee examined by Dr. James Andrews.
It may be a simple checkup with the surgeon who originally performed Richardson's February 3 knee scope, or there may be more to it. We'll just have to wait and see. Richardson experienced soreness in the surgically repaired knee during recent practices, and the Browns have shut him down for the time being. Fantasy footballers should closely monitor this situation. Montario Hardesty is second on the running back depth chart in Cleveland.

Hopefully he is ok.

Hopefully it's just a simple scar tissue cleanup....but considering he plays for the Browns, it wouldn't shock me if it was something more.

Cursed forever....LOVE being a Cleveland fan!

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has confirmed that Trent Richardson will have arthroscopic left knee surgery Thursday.
Richardson probably could have played through the "hang nail particle" of loose cartilage, but it would have caused irritation and swelling. By undergoing this "minor" procedure, the Browns are taking a proactive approach with their No. 3 overall pick. They say the expected recovery time is a "two-week deal." Still, this is Richardson's second left knee scope in the last six months. The Browns could be hesitant to put a full workload on his shoulders -- especially early on.
