Injuries mounting for Browns

Posted on Wednesday 20 September 2006

The news hasn’t been all that good the last few days on the injury front. After Daylon McCutcheon was put on injured reserve on Tuesday, the Browns’ injury report came out on Wednesday. With the number of players that are listed, it begs the question whether anybody will be able to suit up on Sunday.

Gary Baxter (pectoral), Orpheus Roye (shoulder), Joe Jurevicius (ribs) and Darnell Dinkins (hamstring) are doubtful. Willie McGinest (calf), Reuben Droughns (shoulder) and Brian Russell (elbow) are questionable.

Nick Eason (ankle) will sit out for the second consecutive week. None of the listed players participated in the team portion of practice Wednesday.

The Browns are seriously hurting at cornerback now, putting even more pressure on the front seven to get to the quarterback. Having Ralph Brown as the number two corner is a rather scary thought.

Late-inning slam kills Tribe

Posted on Wednesday 20 September 2006

The Indians had an early lead but couldn’t sustain it in their 7-3 Tuesday night loss to the A’s. Oakland only had six hits on the night but a grand slam off Cliff Lee in the sixth was enough to beat them. It also didn’t help that the Tribe struck out 17 times, tying a club record for punc outs in a nine-inning game. Shin-Soo Choo fanned all four times he came to the plate as the Tribe have lost six of their last eight.
