Hardesty Out For Season With Torn ACL

by Bernie19Kosar on Sep 3, 2010 1:40 PM EDT in General News

It was over as soon as it started.

Sources are reporting that Montario Hardesty has torn his ACL and will miss the rest of the 2010-2011 season. It is a shame for Hardesty considering he had just gotten back on the field and was finally getting into some action. Hardesty has had knee troubles his entire football career, including a major operation to his other knee in 2005.

If you watched the game, you could see why the Browns coaching staff was so excited about this kid. Here is hoping that Hardesty can find his way back to the field 100% next season, after all, Jerome Harrison is a free agent next year. Peyton Hillis is going to have to step up.

Chris will have a much more in-depth review of last nights game in the days to come.

I can't believe Cribbs was considered the second best athlete in Cleveland.

This is kind of big news, deserves a main page post, don’t you think?

I just mean, most of the comments are in min ATM.

How bout this B19K. I move all your stuff to mine title/article/pic and I’ll promote mine to the front page so we don’t confuse people and the already steady stream that’s started on mine?

I just figured that losing a second round draft pick to a season ending injury should have been a front page article, not a fanpost.

This is why I said I’d move all your stuff to mine, give you credit and promote it. I mean mine has 60+ more comments.

Fanshots/fanposts don’t get into news feeds on google, yahoo, etc, even if we promote them. SBN really pushes us to do a front page article for big news to help draw more traffic, even if another post is already up.

Thanks Bernie. Figures this happens on a day I’m busy.

You can promote it to the front page, they just don’t get indexed then into the news feeds.

sad news for Hardesty, but i dont think the Browns will miss a beat, Harrison, Hillis, Davis is a potent combination and Jennings is a capable backup.

by rockybrown on Sep 3, 2010 4:22 PM EDT reply actions

Hillis’ performance this preseason has definitely made me feel better but this definitely still really hurts. No matter how you slice it, we are not as deep at RB without Hardesty in the mix.

This will give Davis his chance and we see if he’s got what it takes to be a main part of the offense
(just looking for a positive). Will we be keeping Jennings know?

I don’t know that Jennings makes the cut. I didn’t really see anything from him, and with all the LB’s trying to make the cut, I think there is a good chance of him not making the team.

WR Jake Allen, OL Casey Bender, DB Coye Francies, TE Joel Gamble, OL Joel Reinders, WR Syndric Steptoe

All waived. Yawn.

by APV on Sep 3, 2010 5:33 PM EDT reply actions

I’d assume Joel Reinders is practice-squad eligible. Anyone know if Coye Francies is?

That’s six players. I’m guessing that’s the Browns’ practice squad right there.

Assuming they get through waivers, that is.

If that’s the practice squad, Carlton Mitchell better get cut outright.

Don’t forget about Danso.

Danso will probably go on IR so he doesn’t count.

I think Francies should be. I really hope reinders, Francies, and Gamble go onto our PS (maybe bender…haven’t seen much of him)

OT. But did you see TJ Houshmanzadeh is getting cut? Tempted? Think he would be a nice insurance policy and 5th receiver.

since he got cut we wouldn’t be responsible for his contract. that doesn’t matter now, but it’s important to remember.

Too bad about this one, I thought for sure we´d found our tailback. I rank James Davis over Jerome Harrison, fundamentally sound, but a tad slow.
Lets not overlook other teams 56 man roster cuts.

by mooncamping on Sep 4, 2010 10:16 AM EDT reply actions

Really? Harrison is really a vastly underrated runner. People think that because he is small, he cannot run inside. But to me he demonstrates toughness inside. I think he goes over a grand.

by realmccoy on Sep 4, 2010 11:59 AM EDT up reply actions

Harrison is underrated, and it looks like he bulked up this year too. I think our backfield will be fine without Hardesty, though it does blow not having him.

by AG7 on Sep 4, 2010 12:03 PM EDT up reply actions

Yes, looks like the Browns jinx regarding tail backs, unless you count the 270 lbs single back Jamal Lewis as a success.
Looks like a nice pick-up with Andre Anderson, Tulane, though:
