Trent Richardson Injury: Rib Injury Could Sideline Browns RB

Cleveland Browns coach Pat Shurmur wouldn’t rule anything out when it comes to running back Trent Richardson. After the back was benched during the second half of Sunday’s matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, Shurmur indicated that Richardson could be rested for a week or two due to his rib injury, reports Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer. "You just watch him, watch him practice, see where he's at physically and if he's ready to play, he'll play," Shurmur said Monday. "If we see that this is bothering him to the point where he can't perform, then we'll make those decisions as we go. I just want to make the point though, that there was a lot going on out there. It wasn't just Trent." Richardson was removed from the Sunday’s game after proving ineffective against the Colts during the first half. Following the game Shurmur said the rookie just didn’t look right, and now it appears he’s considering keeping Richardson out and allowing him time to fully recover as the team approaches it’s bye week. Entering Sunday’s game, Richardson had totaled 340 yards and four touchdowns on 95 carries.
