CLEVELAND (AP) - Trent Richardson's ailing left knee may be more seriously injured than the Cleveland Browns thought.
The team issued a one-sentence statement Wednesday saying that the running back, picked No. 3 overall in April's draft, will see a specialist on Thursday.
The statement says: ''Trent Richardson is traveling to Pensacola, Fla., where he will have his left knee further evaluated by Dr. James Andrews tomorrow.''
Richardson had arthroscopic surgery on the knee Feb. 3, which caused him to miss some portions of the NFL combine before the draft.
Nevertheless, Cleveland traded up to select Richardson, who helped Alabama win a national championship last season.
Richardson had impressed coaches in camp but he missed practice Tuesday, when he wore a protective wrap on his leg.
