Hardesty was listed as Cleveland's No.2 back behind Trent Richardson on the team's first official depth chart release Tuesday, according to the Browns' official site.
Recommendation: While Brandon Jackson may get more part-time carries in passing situations when Richardson needs a breather, Hardesty's skills translate better should the need arise for a full-time replacement. This battle is not over, but Tuesday's announcement hints that Hardesty is the better bet as a handcuff to Richardson.
