Cheap Authentic NBA Jerseys . -- Jonas Hiller is cautiously confident he has kicked his vertigo.BEREA, Ohio -- Montario Hardesty cant stop his unlucky run of injuries. The Browns running back will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Thursday, the latest medical setback for Hardesty, who dislocated his right thumb on Monday after missing most of training camp with a hamstring injury. Cleveland coach Rob Chudzinski said Hardesty has been bothered by "nagging" soreness in his knee, and that the surgery is not related to the hamstring injury that forced him to miss the majority of workouts this summer. Hardesty had only returned to practice on Monday when he injured his thumb while jumping to catch a direct snap from centre. Chudzinski does not know how long Hardesty, who has undergone prior surgeries to repair torn ligaments in both knees, will be sidelined. "Well have to see after he gets that (scope)," Chudzinski said. "Its just to clean it up." Typically, the recovery time on such surgeries is least one month. Chudzinski said his message to Hardesty is to stay strong. "You have to keep coming back and keep fighting," he said. "I think that is the theme we have been talking about a lot. It applies everywhere in this game. And hell make it back." Chudzinski did not know which knee Hardesty was going to have scoped. Hardesty was limited in practice Tuesday, when he had a protective wrap over his thumb. He left without speaking to reporters. The engaging 26-year-old has had injury issues throughout his NFL career, and before he turned pro. Hardesty tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in the final exhibition game in 2010 and missed his entire rookie season. Hardesty also had knee problems in college at Tennessee, and had his right ACL repaired when he was a freshman with the Volunteers. Hes battled back every time, and now Hardesty will have to do it again. "That injury bug is something you cant control," said linebacker DQwell Jackson, who had had to overcome two major chest injuries. "Hes just got to stay positive. Once he has his surgery, its just one day at a time, just look at how you can make the situation better. It starts with the attitude, attitude is everything. Its going to help the healing process and its going to help him mentally get through it. "I would tell him is to keep good people around him just so he stays motivated and stays with a positive outlook.dddddddddddd" Hardesty was drafted in the second round by Cleveland in 2010. He rushed for 271 yards as Trent Richardsons backup last season, but his roster spot was believed to be in jeopardy because of the arrival of Dion Lewis, who recently passed him on the depth chart. Chudzinski said the Browns will have to wait to see how long Hardesty will be out before any roster decisions can be finalized. "Well just have to see when he gets back and then balance that with the other guys and how they are doing and how theyve done in the next couple weeks," he said. With Chris Ogbonnaya and Brandon Jackson, the Browns have enough depth at running back to help ease the sting of losing Hardesty. "Its really nice having Dion in there because hes done a great job during the entire training camp," Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas said. "He did a great job in the first preseason game, and obviously with him and Trent and Obi, a nice little depth chart there. Theyll be able to pick up the slack nicely." NOTES: Thomas said RB Trent Richardson playing in the preseason should help the Browns line develop some chemistry with the second-year star. Richardson sat out all four exhibitions a year ago and never caught up. "You cant just plug somebody in there and just expect him to know where the reads are and the cuts and how were blocking every play," Thomas said. "So having live reps with him back there is going to be tremendously helpful." ... Starting S T.J. Ward will be kept out of Thursdays exhibition game against Detroit as a precaution as he recovers from a nagging hamstring. "Nothing wrong," Chudzinski said.
