Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson won’t participate in minicamp and might sit out even longer as a team-ordered precaution.
Richardson, the third overall pick in the 2012 draft, has had a string of leg injuries, the latest of which is a pulled muscle in his shin.
ESPN Cleveland reported Tuesday that coach Rob Chudzinski and the Browns would hold Richardson out of action until August. Richardson said last week that missing ongoing organized team activities “ain’t no biggie.”
According to the report, Richardson is also taking medication for migraine headaches.
“If they let me go, I’m going to go,” Richardson said. “If they tell me to suit up tomorrow, I’m going to be out here working tomorrow.”
