Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:01:47 -0700
Cleveland Browns RB Trent Richardson (chest, rib) will wear a flak jacket in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. Richardson is expected to start in the game, and he said the extra padding won't change his rushing style. "My game's not going to be no different," Richardson said. "I'm still going to play physical and play hard-nosed football, smash-mouth football. That's what I was brought up to do, and that's how I know how to play football." RBs Montario Hardesty and Chris Ogbonnaya will step in if Richardson is limited at all, and head coach Pat Shurmur is confident in the backups if needed.
Fri, 05 Oct 2012 10:50:48 -0700

Sun, 22 Jul 2012 20:54:16 -0700
The only real competition at the running back position for the Cleveland Browns is to determine who will become the primary backup to RB Trent Richardson. The team likely will favor whoever proves to be the best receiving threat and pass protector, especially on third down. Contributions on special teams might be a deciding factor, too. Head coach Pat Shurmur said RBs Montario Hardesty and Brandon Jackson would both play this year, but it is uncertain who will have a more prominent role. RB Chris Ogbonnaya is also in the mix, and his ability on special teams will help his cause should one of the others falter or suffer injury.
Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:58:33 -0700
Cleveland Browns RB Chris Ogbonnaya might have a leg up in the battle for a roster spot with RB Montario Hardesty, as Ogbonnaya has also shown ability on special teams, especially on coverage. The Browns are adamant that they want their No. 3 running back to chip in on special teams. It's uncertain if Hardesty can, or is willing, to do so.
Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:50:25 -0700
Cleveland Browns RB Brandon Jackson is healthy, and he has reportedly established himself as the No. 2 back in the depth chart battle with RBs Montario Hardesty and Chris Ogbonnaya. Jackson showed solid blocking and catching skills, as well, which is what the coaches expect in the West Coast offense.
Fantasy Tip: There are conflicting reports in the Cleveland media on whether Jackson or Hardesty will be the No. 2 guy behind RB Trent Richardson, so this will obviously be hashed out in training camp and into the preseason.
Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:33:54 -0700
Cleveland Browns RBs Brandon Jackson and Chris Ogbonnaya might be fighting it out for the No. 3 running back job behind rookie RB Trent Richardson and RB Montario Hardesty in training camp and the preseason. It is unlikely the Browns will keep four running backs on the roster, so Jackson and Ogbonnaya might not make the roster. However, if Hardesty suffers an injury, Jackson might end up as the primary backup with Ogbonnaya as the No. 3.
Sat, 10 Dec 2011 13:48:46 -0800
Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur indicated RBs Peyton Hillis, Montario Hardesty and Chris Ogbonnaya will split carries the rest of the season because he does not think any of the running backs can handle a full workload at this point of the season.
Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:59:44 -0800
Cleveland Browns RB Montario Hardesty (calf) tightened up while warming up for his team's Week 12 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Browns are expected to see how much they can get from RB Peyton Hillis (hamstring) this week.
Fantasy Tip: Scrap Hardesty in your Week 12 plans. Hillis is still a risky play, but Cleveland may be forced to rely on him quite a bit. Chris Ogbonnaya becomes a risky but sneaky play in PPR leagues now as well, with some upside based on how Hillis holds up. Considering how much Hillis practiced this past week and how long he has been out, it may not be too well.
Wed, 23 Nov 2011 10:08:14 -0800
Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said RB Chris Ogbonnaya would still see playing time in Week 12 even if RB Montario Hardesty (calf) starts the game.

Cleveland Browns RB Chris Ogbonnaya rushed for 28 yards on 13 carries against the Houston Texans in Week 9.
Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:59:50 -0700
Cleveland Browns RB Chris Ogbonnaya will make the start in Week 9 against the Houston Texans, his former team. Ogbonnaya is getting the nod with RBs Peyton Hillis (hamstring) and Montario Hardesty (calf) inactive. "I think there is a little irony (in starting against the Texans), but it's part of this league and you've just got to be ready to play," Ogbonnaya said.
Fri, 04 Nov 2011 10:49:18 -0700

Cleveland Browns RB Chris Ogbonnaya could see considerable playing time behind RB Montario Hardesty in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks if RB Peyton Hillis (hamstring) is unable to suit up.

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 17:37:56 -0700

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 22:46:15 -0700
Houston Texans RB Steve Slaton (hamstring) might be able to make his preseason debut Thursday, Sept. 1, against the Minnesota Vikings. It appears he is fighting RB Chris Ogbonnaya for the potential fourth RB spot behind RBs Arian Foster (hamstring), Derrick Ward and Ben Tate.
Sun, 21 Aug 2011 08:35:07 -0700
Houston Texans RB Ben Tate is back in the conversation for a potential No. 2 role behind Arian Foster after a strong preseason showing Saturday, Aug. 20. Tate, who missed all of last year's regular season with a broken leg, missed a lot of training camp because of hamstring injury. He piled up 95 yards rushing and a touchdown on just nine carries against the New Orleans Saints. "I guess practice is overrated," said head coach Gary Kubiak. Tate was encouraged with his game, but said he needs to stay humble and keep working. The Texans appear loaded at tailback with Foster, Tate, Derrick Ward (concussion), Steve Slaton (hamstring) and Chris Ogbonnaya. It remains unlikely the team would keep five tailbacks.
Mon, 15 Aug 2011 21:44:07 -0700
