Trent Richardson could be a "spot player" this week

Browns QBs Brandon Weeden and Colt McCoy didn’t practice again today with shoulder sprains suffered Sunday in the loss to the Broncos. Running back Trent Richardson also remained sidelined with an ankle sprain. Coach Pat Shurmur didn’t rule them out for the finale Sunday in Pittsburgh, but said if he knows they can’t play he will make the announcement before gameday, likely Friday.

Offensive coordinator Brad Childress said Richardson could be a “spot player” this week behind Montario Hardesty if he’s cleared to play. Richardson, who broke Jim Brown’s team rookie rushing record last week, is 50 yards shy of the 1,000-yard milestone.

Browns RB Trent Richardson hobbled out with a walking boot on his left foot for the long trek to the team bus, where a bunch of dejected players and coaches sat waiting for him.

At this point, it looks like Richardson might sit out next week's finale in Pittsburgh.

Trent Richardson says injury 'bigger than what folks think'

Browns RB Trent Richardson attempted to fight through a rib cartilage injury he suffered last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, but coach Pat Shurmur benched him after he was stuffed for no gain on third-and-1 from the Colts’ 35-yard line with 4:17 left in the second quarter.

Richardson finished with eight carries for eight yards, and the Browns tallied only 55 yards on 17 carries (3.2 average) against the Colts, who allowed 252 rushing yards to the New York Jets last week.

“The injury I have is much bigger than what folks think it is, and I don’t want to do anything to hurt the team," Richardson said.
