The Browns shocked everyone with their blockbuster trade sending Trent Richardson to the Colts, especially when considering the current state of Cleveland’s rushing game.

As noted by @SportsCenter, the only remaining player on the Browns’ roster who has a rushing attempt this year is quarterback Brandon Weedon … who has 2 rushes for 7 yards.

So, what will the Browns do next? Brent Sobleski of The Q breaks it down:

McGahee ran for 731 yards through 10 games last season before an injury ended his 2012 campaign. McGahee instantly becomes the most experienced back on the roster and will likely start this weekend.

Ogbonnaya is another option. Ogbonnaya has yet to carry the football this year, but he is a four-year veteran with 95 career carries. Ogbonnaya doubles as the team’s starting fullback, but he came into the league as a tailback.

Be sure to follow The Q for the latest on the situation in Cleveland.
