Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Fla. Andrews also performed Richardson's original scope on February 3, to repair a torn meniscus. As Dealer staffer Mary Kay Cabot reports, today's procedure was to have a small piece of loose cartilage removed. Richardson, the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, had been experiencing swelling in the knee and sat out Tuesday's practice. He underwent an MRI that day and headed Wednesday to Andrews' clinic in Richardson's hometown of Pensacola, Fla. Richardson will miss all or most of the preseason games. Montario Hardesty will start in Richardson's place tomorrow night in Detroit.
