  • Browns place Joel Bitonio on season-ending injured reserve

    Dec 7 2015, 5:52 PMArun Srinivasan

    The Cleveland Browns have placed guard Joel Bitonio on season-ending injured reserve with an ankle injury, the team confirmed Tuesday.

    Bitonio suffered the injury during the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and was replaced by Cameron Erving.

    Browns head coach Mike Pettine indicated during his press conference Monday that it was likely Bitonio would be placed on IR.

    The lineman was fighting through the ankle injury throughout the season, and he appeared to aggravate it during Sunday's game.

    In a corresponding move, the Browns claimed Gabe Ikard off waivers.

  • Wow. At least it isn't a concussion.

  • Oh horseshit, I predicted this a while ago. When the season goes on the shitier it's amazing how many veterans and guys that aren't worried about their jobs come up with a season ending injury. Why dick around and get yourself really hurt for nothing?

    They will be dropping like flies over the next four weeks.

    Joel ain't doggin' it, Steve. If he tried to, Thomas would kick his ass...

    I must have slept through this announcement. Certainly could explain a couple of his games...

  • Yeah, probably that's true tour but if we are in the playoff hunt I bet he'd find some way to make the field.

  • Of course, but in a way I don't blame. Why get really hurt? They will be dropping like flies.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • Just listening to Pet's latest presser and up front in his injury portion he called Bito's ankle "a new injury."

    Small thing I know, but does demonstrate FO is not on the same page.

  • Malcolm Johnson, our FB (apparently, not yet seen him block someone) is sent to IR. We signed the OL we waived a few days ago.

  • That's too bad. Bitonio rocked at LOG. Cam needs to

    get stronger, and player lower with more leverage.

  • Erving may not even play the rest of the way. He was pulled yesterday for Pasztor, who they may want to give game time to to see how he does. To my untrained eye he was no worse than Erving, and a little better.

    Not to say Erving is a bum, he may be great at center next year.

    Right....and IF Pasztor is supposed be our back-up LG, then I say play him.....

    Dont think Cam is slated to play there, so no point in beating him up for nothing....

  • Ohhhh.....Miles Austin was just cut by the Eagles......

    Id grab him to finish out the season. instead of some stuffy ole lineman .....(we really shoulda kept him all along)

    👍

  • Miles was our second leading wr last year.

    way to go, Farmer, with replacing him with Bowe...

    so stupid.

  • ... and our go to, clutch WR, cal.

    We had a fullback?

  • I'm not missing Miles Austin, and we don't need to be signing old vets at this time of the year.

    Benji and Harttine will start, and if we don't get the Concussion boys back, I'll take more of Jennings with a little Prior.

  • We claimed Gabe Ikard © off waivers from BUF. 2014 UDFA out of OU.

    Was actually a combine invitee. 6'3.5, 304... Fast, quick, not very strong.

    What was Benjamin's injury? Is he good to go?

    Right now it is Training Day for Cam Erving. He needs to now start playing like a first round draft choice. Browns have played 12 games now.....he is not a rookie anymore.
