Browns running back Trent Richardson felt great following his first practice in training camp Thursday, and he reported no issues with his injured shin during offseason workouts, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"I completely trust it," Richardson said of the shin. "I did a lot of rehab on it, and I did a lot of stuff in the offseason to build my muscle back up. Right now I'm feeling pretty good. When it comes down to it, you're going to see my game elevate. ... I'm just going up this hill we're climbing on. I'm going to keep striving to win every time."
Richardson said he's in great shape coming into the year.
"I feel way quicker, especially without all that extra padding I had around my ribs," he said, referring to last year's injury. "I lost weight. I'm 225. I probably came into camp 230 last year, probably played at 233 not being able to run fully other than Friday before the game due to injury. It’s a blessing to be in the shape that I am right now."
