Richardson is one of three backs since 1996 to go in the top three picks in the draft, joining No. 2 overall picks Reggie Bush in 2006 and Ronnie Brown in 2005. But after a somewhat promising rookie year in Cleveland when he rushed for 950 yards and 11 touch- downs and caught 51 passes and another score while playing much of the season with broken ribs, Richardson has been sent away by teams in his next two seasons. Cleveland traded Rich- ardson to Indianapolis af- ter just two games in the 2013 season for a first- round pick. Thought to be the final piece needed to solidify an offense led by star quarterback Andrew Luck, Richardson never fit in with the Colts. He averaged just 2.9 yards per carry with In- dianapolis in the final 14 games of the 2013 season and was not much better last season when he ran for 519 yards, averaging 3.3 yards per carry before be- ing released. "I have a lot to prove to myself," he said. "Every- body wants to put pres- sure on me. That pressure is nothing but greatness. People want me to be great out here. They can say I was overweight or out of shape. But if they saw me in that conditioning test, I killed it. That was fun." The Raiders hope Rich- ardson can help improve a running game that was the least productive in the NFL last season. He is in the mix with Roy Helu Jr. and undrafted rookie Mi- chael Dyer as backups be- hind Latavius Murray. Dyer and Helu are cur- rently sidelined by injuries, leading to Richardson get- ting extra time Thursday as the Raiders try to deter- mine what his role will be. "I think that will evolve as we get going," offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said. "We have a number of weeks left. We want him to contribute. We want to de- vise some plays that fit his strengths as well." Notes: • The defense got the best of the day, highlighted by D.J. Hayden's intercep- tion against Derek Carr, and Tevin McDonald end- ing practice with an inter- ception against Christian Ponder. "Today was a day that we'd definitely like to learn from," Musgrave said. "As soon as we learn from it, we want to forget it be- cause it wasn't the way to play winning football." • RT Menelik Watson missed practice after leav- ing with an injury Wednes- day, giving Austin Howard a shot with the first team. Raiders FROM PAGE 1 an English player, a gam- ble on Sterling's future de- velopment given that the winger has been a topflight regular for only a couple of years. The move represented a return to the heavy spend- ing that City's Abu Dhabi ownership was restricted from embarking on the previous year as a conse- quence of breaching UE- FA's Financial Fair Play rules. Across Manchester, the breathless pace with which United's squad is being re- constructed under Louis van Gaal continued. It's barely recognizable from the title-winning side that Alex Ferguson bequeathed to David Moyes two years ago, with more than $350 million spent in the last year. There has been a clear- out at Old Trafford, with forwards Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao, and An- gel Di Maria going, and an attempt to rebalance the squad. Midfielders Bas- tian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin, de- fender Matteo Darmian, forward Memphis Depay, and Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero have joined the 20-time English cham- pions. Last season was about Van Gaal repairing the rot of Moyes' brief, ill- fated reign, and return- ing United to the Champi- ons League — albeit with a playoff still to negotiate this month. Now the Glazer family that owns United will be expecting silver- ware again, rather than just a top-four finish. But such was the ease Chelsea strolled to the ti- tle in May by eight points, the west London club is likely to be a formidable force again. Mourinho is entering the third season of his second spell at Chelsea, with Stamford Bridge far more harmonious than in 2007 when the Portuguese manager exited barely a month into his third cam- paign. "In this moment I don't think I am the champion," Mourinho said ahead of this weekend's opener against Swansea. "Satur- day starts that fight for the points." While chiding rivals for their spending, Mourinho has been relatively par- simonious so far in this transfer window. The prin- cipal arrival has been Fal- cao on loan from Monaco — despite the forward be- ing so ineffective at United — while goalkeeper Petr Cech was surprisingly al- lowed to join London rival Arsenal, which is chasing its first league title since 2004. "Other teams are going to improve for sure because they invest a lot in their squads, and their squads are obviously much bet- ter," Mourinho said. "We are the same. We have to be better." Cech joins an Arsenal side that is growing in confidence after a third- place finish and a success- ful defense of its FA Cup trophy last season, helped by the inspired form of Chile striker Alexis San- chez. However, it needs to avoid the kind of inju- ries that blighted last sea- son for Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, and Alex Oxlade- Chamberlain. Arsenal's north London rival, Tottenham, will simi- larly be hoping that striker Harry Kane remains in- jury-free and as prolific af- ter being the revelation of the league last season and scoring 31 goals in all com- petitions. May witnessed some high-profile farewells, with Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard leaving to see out their careers across the At- lantic in Major League Soc- cer. However, some faces from the past are return- ing to the world's most- watched domestic soccer competition. Claudio Ranieri, the so-called "tinkerman" ditched at the start of Ro- man Abramovich's Chelsea revolution for Mourinho in 2004, was the shock appointment at Leicester. Out of work since being fired by Greece, the Ital- ian replaced Nigel Pear- son, who was dismissed despite unexpectedly keeping Leicester in the topflight. At West Ham, Slaven Bilic replaced Sam Allar- dyce as manager 18 years after playing for the east London club, which is pre- paring for its last season at Upton Park before moving into a revamped Olympic Stadium. The Croatian takes his first job in English man- agement just as Steve Mc- Claren embarks on the lat- est step in his managerial rehabilitation since his dismal 18-month England reign ended in 2007 with a loss to Bilic's Croatia. Premier FROM PAGE 1 San Francisco's Brandon Belt hit a two-run homer off Jason Hammel in the fourth and Brandon Craw- ford added another one off Tommy Hunter in the sixth to make it 5-4. Jason Motte and Pedro Strop each worked a score- less inning for the Cubs. Hector Rondon pitched the ninth for his 17th save in 20 chances. Hunter Pence had two hits and scored two runs, but the Giants lost for just the sixth time in 22 games. Neither starter lasted long, with Heston go- ing only four innings and Hammel getting lifted af- ter he walked the first two batters in the fifth. Heston, tops among ma- jor league rookies in wins, took the loss after going 5-0 in his previous eight starts for San Francisco. He gave up five runs and five hits, walked two and hit a batter with a pitch. Hammel allowed two runs and three hits. He ex- ited after walking Ehire Adrianza and Hector San- chez. Justin Grimm (2-3) got out of that jam, but the game got tight after Hunter gave up Crawford's two-run drive in the sixth. Trainer's Room Giants: RHP Mike Leake will miss a turn in the rota- tion because of a strained left hamstring. Acquired from Cincinnati last week, Leake was scheduled to make his second start for the Giants on Friday. ... OF Angel Pagan returned to the lineup after missing two games with soreness in his knees. Cubs: Manager Joe Maddon said C Miguel Montero (sprained left thumb), rehabbing with Double-A Tennessee, is "getting close" to a re- turn from the 15-day dis- abled list. ... GM Jed Hoyer said INF Tommy La Stella (right rib cage inflamma- tion), on the 60-day DL, will play Friday and Sat- urday for Tennessee and then be re-evaluated. Up Next LHP Jon Lester (6-8, 3.26 ERA) starts for the Cubs. RHP Ryan Vogelsong (7-7, 4.16) goes for the Gi- ants in Leake's place.
