The Facts:
HCPat Shurmur said on the first day of minicamp today that there will be enough playing time for Montario Hardesty and Brandon Jackson even though No. 3 overall pick Trent Richardson is here. "They'll all play and I'm not concerned about them getting their reps,' Shurmur said.

Shurmur also said that Hardesty, who missed most of the last half of the season with a calf injury, and Jackson, who missed all of 2011 with a toe injury, have looked good in practices. "Knock on wood right now I think that group is healthy and they're running around fast,' Shurmur said. "You can see there's some carryover in learning from the guys that were here a year ago. And Trent's doing a good job of picking things up. So they look fast, they're getting their reps and because the lines (to wait your turn) are a little bit longer, the reps they're in for, they look crisp.' Jackson was signed as a free agent last offseason in part to serve as the third-down back. It remains to be seen how Shurmur will divide things up but there have been reports suggesting that Jackson could be in line for more playing time in a third-down role than Hardesty.
