Yup, someone who weighs 300 pounds stomps on your foot- there goes the ligament. There's other ways too. Like torn pectorals or biceps tendons- this injury seems to be happening more and more. Never heard of it 10 years ago.

Bitonio underwent successful foot surgery - will be ready for next season.

I was afraid it was a Lisfranc fracture, he's done for the year. It's putting a screw into the broken bone, no weight bearing for at least 6 weeks.

Given the decline in ratings, I do not see more games by teams with diluted talent as a remedy.

Increase the roster size.

And fix IR rules. Out 8 weeks is far to long for some with 200 on it this season. Does not include the other 5-6 on inactive per team that coaches our betting on that will be ready in 4-6 weeks.Unless your name is Shon"redshirt"Coleman 😉

Placing him on Temporary IR will allow us to bring in the much needed manpower to send at this injury plague.

This is exactly why the NFL need to increase roster size. Sometimes you need it. There should be lower salaries for the top players and more players in general. More games, bigger rosters, more players(God knows there is talent out there just wishing for an opportunity).

I Wish Football played as many games as basketball or baseball. Increase the roster size.

#Browns to place LG Joel Bitonio on injured reserve, may be season ending

#Browns Bitonio's mid-foot sprain is probably season-ending but with the new IR rules that's not 100% certain

Others? Austin Pasztor did quite well there last year IIRC, but I doubt they move him over and disrupt another position. Drango? If they want to keep Bailey as specifically a RG/RT backup, perhaps, but I don't see that.

And if the next news on Malcolm Jonson will include the word "released".

At least this made me laugh...

Center Cameron Erving is expected back in the lineup this week, which will allow the Browns to move John Greco back to right guard.

Problem solved!

In a corresponding move, we've signed a 6-1, 240lb rookie full back.

So? Where is Sean Coleman in all of this? He was what....a second or third round pick? Taken before Drango. Is he just too raw at this point?

My guess... and it's only a guess... is his run blocking is holding him back. Likely a strength issue in part related to his injury/surgery setting him behind.

It still has not been a year since the injury last November and, for whatever reason, he was not operated upon until January.

All kidding aside, I'm hoping our OL can get back to their running ways, and do it in a hurry.

I give him 1 quarter.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/644271https://brownsboard.com/post/644271Thu, 13 Oct 2016 21:27:44 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Bitinio out multiple weeks on Thu, 13 Oct 2016 20:41:41 GMT]]>What's the over/under for Kessler getting carted off the field?

Don't know what to tell you Gip. I checked the inactives for the Patriots game, and Shon (not Sean- got you back 🙂 ) wasn't listed. So he could have played. There's zero information out there regarding him.

Yup- Drango has at least seen some action. You'd think with all the injuries Coleman would have gotten in for at least a couple plays- especially at the end of the Pats game, where the 4th quarter was essentially a scrimmage.

The only bright side of this is.. we can see what we actually have in the rookie OL's..

And Cameron "Master Of The Look-Out Block" Erving is back - would he be a better fit as G or RT?

FYI: A look-out block is when the OL whiffs his assignment and yells back to his QB "Look out!"

LOL, for the young 'uns that can't remember the days of the Cardiac Kids- I give you Doug "Duck" Dieken. As in DUCK BRIAN!!!

He's our best run blocker, and I think it's safe to say we're pretty screwed. The NFL is a copycat league, so you can bet your ass that teams will try to do exactly what Pats did to us. The blueprint is there, and now we don't have our best run blocker. Hopefully we can adjust, but I'm just completely flattened as a fan right now. I feel like there's no point. I obviously wasn't expecting to be GOOD right now, but we've been decimated by injuries to very key personnel. Injuries happen to every team, EVERY year, but Jesus H...

Titans looked good last week. We did not. It's at Tennessee. We're down key players, and we're struggling with playmakers. We need a win so badly...

Ghoolie Did.

Hue needs to go..... NOW.

Over 200 players on IR throughout the league & no SD has the honor of most on IR at 18 for a team. HueJax-"How can you play football on Sunday if you don't practice like it everyday" It's about Damn Time..Your other team has a Big Raper bitching to his coaches also about real live practicing causing to many injuries to his own team of pu**ies..
