Browns RBs coach Wilbert Montgomery wants a true starter to emerge

Injuries have made evaluating the position cloudy

The Cleveland Browns are four days away from their preseason opener against the Washington Redskins and no position on the roster is as unclear as running back.

The unit has been battered with so many injuries that general manager Ray Farmer had to sign both Timothy Flanders and Jalen Parmele early last week.

Duke Johnson Jr., (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday’s game and Shaun Draughn (thumb) will likely join him on the sidelines after missing practice Sunday with a cast on his hand.
