Ranking one of the worst team in the league of the season, the Cleveland Browns seem to have little to improve. After losing the sixth consecutive game since Week 5, the Browns lose another key player in their defense for the season: nose tackle Shaun Rogers was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday.
Sustaining a season-ending lower leg injury in Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Rogers joined linebackers D’Qwell Jackson and Eric Barton to be the third defensive player in Bears jersey placed on IR. Both Jackson and Barton were starters at their position before sustaining season-ending injuries. Oops, what else can we expect from the Browns for the remaining season as there is only five weeks left before the end?
Rogers, a three-time Pro Bowler, has recorded 36 tackles with two sacks, two blocked extra points and one blocked field goal. Losing the 6-foot-4, 350-pound run stuffer, the Browns will have one less defensive player to present threat to opponents if they have ever presented some.

Falcons CB Williams suffered season-ending injury on knee
The Atlanta Falcons will have to find help at cornerback through a trade before Tuesday’s deadline as cornerback Brian Williams needs to be placed on season-ending injured reserve with torn anterior cruciate ligament.
According to Falcons Coach Mike Smith, Williams tore the anterior cruciate ligament “and some other things” in his right knee in Sunday night’s 21-14 win over the Chicago Bears. Williams landed awkwardly on his right knee while defending a pass to tight end wearing Bears jersey: Greg Olsen, in the end zone in the fourth quarter. He was replaced by Chevis Jackson on the following play. Smith also confirmed that Williams will have to undergo a reconstructive knee surgery.
With Williams’ absence, the Falcons may give more playing time to Tye Hill and Jackson, who was beaten by Olsen on a 2-yard touchdown pass whiling playing in Williams’ spot in Sunday’s game. Oct. 20th is the NFL deadline for player trade, so it was urgent for the Falcons to make a decision on Williams’ replacement.
