Will rookie running back Montario Hardesty make an impact in camp despite twisting a knee in the rookies-only week? CLEVELAND -- Browns running back Montario Hardesty will miss at least few weeks with a twisted knee suffered a few days ago in the rookie portion of training camp, coach Eric Mangini said.
Hardesty, who was injury-prone at Tennessee, was expected to give Jerome Harrison a tough battle for the starting job. Hardesty spent the opening session of training camp working inside the building.
He looked solid in minicamps and organized team activities and the coaches were excited to see what he could do with pads on. Training camp is only open to the public through Aug. 19, so fans coming out might not get a chance to see much of him.
Harrison, who rushed for 561 yards over the final three games of last season, took the initial first-team reps of camp Saturday morning. Peyton Hillis and Chris Jennings also got more reps at tailback.
