BEREA, Ohio -- Trent Richardson may miss his first game for the Cleveland Browns. The highly regarded rookie was not in pads, his left leg was wrapped, and he did not participate in practice at all on Tuesday. "Theres a chance he wont play on Friday," coach Pat Shurmur said. "Hes got a sore knee and is being evaluated." It could be the result of going full-bore the past two weeks on a knee that was surgically repaired this spring. Thats one of the reasons Richardson did not fully participate in the NFL combine in April. "It was a little scope," Richardson said at the time of what was termed minor surgery. "I dont even call it a setback." It didnt keep Cleveland (No. 30 in the AP Pro32) from trading up to No. 3 in the draft to select the tailback who helped lead Alabama to the national championship. And it didnt prevent the Browns from signing Richardson to a four-year, $20.5 million contract. "Im always concerned about injuries," Shurmur said. "Hes been practicing well. Well just have to see where he is." Richardson has been quite impressive in camp, displaying quickness and toughness. He did miss practice time last week with what Shurmur said was a headache. Richardson, starting tight end Ben Watson and a few others limited by various ailments rode stationary bicycles as the team went through regular drills on Tuesday. Shurmur didnt seem as worried about Watson, who missed time last season with a concussion. He stopped short of saying the nine-year pro would play when Cleveland opens the preseason Friday in Detroit. "Hes doing fine," Shurmur said. "Hell be back out here soon. Were dealing with some soft tissue (issues)." Shurmur also said Marvin Benard was "doing fine," though the linebacker was nowhere to be seen during drills after walking off midway through practice on Monday. Cleveland will face the Lions without at least two starters on defence. Linebacker Chris Gocong is out for the season with a torn right Achilles tendon. Lineman Phil Taylor, last years No. 1 pick, will be sidelined until at least mid-October after a torn pectoral muscle repaired this spring. If Richardson cant play, Montario Hardesty will get the chance to show if he has progressed. A second-round choice from Tennessee in 2010, he tore up his left knee in the preseason that year and missed the entire season. In sporadic time a year ago, he rushed for 266 yards in 10 games. Hardesty, in better shape now after dropping about 10 pounds down to 215, is eager to play. "Now I can play without being hurt and thinking about it," he said. "This might be the best Ive ever felt. I feel like Ive really got a lot to prove. Ive got a chip on my shoulder, and Ive just got to go out and play every day." Thats fine with Shurmur. "I want to see efficient play," Shurmur said of Hardesty and former Green Bay running back Brandon Jackson, who also will log time against the Lions. "I want to see strong running and catching the ball. When we throw the ball, I want to see pass protection."
