Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson returned to practice on Monday for the first time since having arthroscopic knee surgery last month. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Richardson took some reps with the first-team offense as the Browns prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Browns coaches have been optimistic that Richardson will play in the season-opener.

Fantasy Impact: The fact that is practicing this early in the week is a good sign for fantasy owners hoping to use Richardson in Week 1. Richardson had a piece of loose cartilage removed from his left knee last month, so it’s not yet clear how much action he will see against the Eagles. Fantasy owners should monitor Richardson’s progress as the week goes along.
