It does state Hawk as a game time decision. I was going off someone else's comment about him being out.

I would think he would want to be in this game no matter what, so he will probably gut it out.

If he is out though, That leaves Austin, Gabriel, Moore and Benji. Suppose they could give Rodney Smith a play or two. At 6'5" he would be a giant among men for the WR Corp

Hawk ain't gonna miss this game.

I thought Taylor was a definite no-go for this game, but I saw him listed this morning as questionable . . .

Browns wearing White's tonight.

Hawkins is out? Last I saw he was game time?

That would be correct.

Read a Pettine quote yesterday that he's betting on Hawk playing... but I think it's premise was "if the decision falls to Hawk".

I'll see if I can find it again.

EDIT:Browns coach Mike Pettine said Hawkins will likely be a game-time decision.

"I know it's real important to him," Pettine said. "I've been led to believe that it will be a game-time decision. If we leave it up to him, he'll go, just knowing the type of player that he is."

Speaking of 3rd TE. I see Jake Stoneburner is no longer on the Packers roster. Our local Buckeye residents should be familiar with his name. That would be a player of interest to me. Especially if we're looking for a more vertical threat type TE/Hback

Always thought he was good. Not sure if he is making it in the NFL.

He's had a couple good showings previously. Do I think he's going to be some monster athletic TE? No. I think he'd be a decent pass catcher in a tight spot though.

As for the game tonight. Terrible weather, two teams with massive injury lists, and both teams from Ohio. The DERP factor should be off the scale.... I look forward to it.

Sorry, interpret DERP factor.

Excited to watch the Browns live for the first time this season. They don't show the Browns in this area. A win would be evidence that they are legit.

... and give us the same record as the Cowboys, who you said would "crush us" two weeks ago.

Feel good about the game, but hope the weather is not a factor.

Steady 30% chance... could be worse...

If Hawk does play, I'm wondering how effective he will be. Hasn't really been able to practice, and it's a short week. It'll be interesting to see.

As for Stoneburner - I've watched him since his HS days. I saw him play a few times his senior year, and then of course at OSU. He's got athleticism and size to be a phyiscal WR, but not a TE. Even if he gained weight, it wouldn't be to his advantage. That's what made him such a mismatch in HS. He was never really used properly at OSU. But he always reminded me of a faster, more athletic Joe Jurevicius type, whose hands weren't as good.

Whole team only had 1 non-walkthrough practice Tuesday night. Not a huge deal if he's around for tape and some walk through.

Cleveland Clowns. Cincinnati Bungles. On the same field. Prime time with a slew of injuries.

Good enough translation?

When I made that comment the Cowboys were 6-1 with a healthy Romo. Even still I think the Cowboys are the superior team. You do realize these two teams don't play each other this year? They would have to play for me to be proven wrong.

I also realize they lost to the Redskins that night ... who I wish we could play.

Looks like Cameron is a no go for this game.. Also we are likely losing Hawkins for this game, which really hurts.. He has been a good target for Hoyer on those 3rd and longs..

I wish he'd throw to Austin on 3rd down, dude actually has some size and glue hands.

How many games has Cam played in this year? Two? Three? Sure isn't helping his case for a big money payday...

another concussion for him. i think that's like 3 in 2 years. team doctors/nfl doesn't take that shit lightly anymore.

How are you all watching the game tonight? I forgot TNF switched from CBS to NFL Network now and I can't get that channel via my cable service.

Options?

Edit: Right now it looks like my best option is to get NFL Mobile on my Verizon phone, get an HDMI conversion cable, and watch on my HDTV. I bet it sounds easier than it actually will be.

What time for a actual inactive report released??
