Maybe Haden is ADD. Many people are.

Yeah, Haden seems way too good of a guy to get "high" on adderall.

I can't take this shit anymore. We haven't even had a preseason game yet. And why the hell is Haden taking an attention deficit drug? This is just nuts.

I knew this injury and draft was too good to be true.

This was already posted.

This guy is saying just a few more weeks.. 2-4 and I'm ok. We go into the season with this thing and or lose him this season.. I may shoot myself.

True.

Other times it's a matter of them not being able to see it, or a little chunk that chips off after a clean surgery.....the likely cause.

This may all turn to crap, but i really don't expect this to be a story by the opener.

Let me know how you feel after the 1st quarter of the Eagles game.

...Geez, some Fans can be rattled so fast. It's going to take more than a little rock on the track TO STOP THE TRAIN!!! Nothing stops the train to the Playoffs, NOTHING!

The warm fuzzy feeling I had, has turned into cold and shaky. I generally prefer my top 3 draft pick stud running back, to go at least, oh I don't know, 2 weeks before having to have maintenance surgery on his knee.................but that's just me.

Run Chris Ungabunga, R U N !

that's why you don't pick a running back at number 3 and lose picks in the process.

that being said, we did, and i think he'll be fine (he better be). and will have a great year.

TR doesn't need the preseason. He's a RB. That position is the fastest adjustment from college to NFL out of any position (except possibly DT). To be honest, I hope he doesn't see a snap in the preseason and is fresh and healthy for week 1, when it counts.

@ballpeen said:

He should. This typically takes a week or two to get back to normal. I'd say there is a slim chance we might see him next week for a few plays.....but there is no sense rushing it, so I hope not. I hope he pretty much just walks and jogs on a treadmill the next week to ten days.

He can walk through plays under a coaches supervision to make sure he knows where to go on any called play.

I'd bet he doesn't play at all until the last pre-season game. This is a very minor procedure and they're sending him to the best sports doctor on the planet which leads me to believe caution is being taken, which is fine with me. Give the guy 2 full weeks to recover, a week of practice and some snaps in the final pre-season game and dude will be ready to go.

That's really encouraging! But I think he'll be back in time for the dress rehearsal game 3.

he's taking it to get high. No other reason. You'd be a fool if you thought he's taking adderall for the medicinal properties...

@tjmac said:

He's having cartilage cleaned out. My morning shits take longer than this procedure. They don't give you crutches after, they make you walk out. He'll be running by Sunday and cutting by Wednesday. If this was in season, he would miss a week.

That's really encouraging! But I think he'll be back in time for the dress rehearsal game 3.

@stewy said:

What a relief!!...although with our luck Trent will develop "complications".

TypicalBrowns needs to get over here and thank God.

Of course- 3 things will happen. Richardson will have the surgery, develop MeRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus) have his leg amputated, PG will commit Hari Kari after hearing the news, and I will look like Nostradamus.

@typicalbrowns said:

I guess t rich will have minor surgery and be back in time for the regular season. This sucks because i wanted trent to have experience in the preseason and time to get ready

Its starting to look like a "typical browns" season yet again

With the recent turn of events it is becoming another OIC moment.
