Richardson is a little ahead of schedule in his rehab after arthroscopic surgery. He appears to be 10 days out at this point, Pat Shurmur says.

Analysis: This isn't the first procedure Richardson has been through this year, as he his torn meniscus repaired back in February. That's not exactly the news fantasy owners want to hear when they draft a rookie running back on a team still trying to find success. We haven't even seen him play an NFL game yet, so it's hard to get overly excited for his potential this season. Richardson is one of the most highly touted backs coming out of college in recent years, and theBrowns fully intend to use him as much as possible when he's healthy. He's even more valuable in PPR leagues in the West Coast offense in Cleveland, it just all depends on when he can get back to action, and how long he can hold up.
