"Browns running backs won't be eager to return to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Montario Hardesty suffered a strained right calf Sunday in the first quarter of the Browns' 20-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park.

The Browns were already without starter Peyton Hillis, who missed his second consecutive game with a pulled left hamstring. Hillis tried to come back from the injury, suffered Oct. 16 against the Oakland Raiders, but aggravated it when he returned to practice Wednesday.

Asked what he could do about losing both players during games at Oakland and at San Francisco, Browns coach Pat Shurmur joked, "Quit coming to the Bay Area."

"I don't think it has anything to do with what we're eating or the plane we're flying," Shurmur said.

Hardesty's last carry was a 5-yard gain with 12:03 left in the first quarter. He was replaced by Chris Ogbonnaya, whom the Browns signed off the Houston Texans' practice squad Oct. 18."
