 Jamal Lewis - RBNov. 20 - 5:21 pm et
Jamal Lewis (questionable, ankle) was limited in Friday's practice.
Lewis will play against Detroit, but isn't even a good flex play because of his decreasing role in an awful Cleveland offense and declining ability.

 Joshua Cribbs - WRNov. 20 - 11:55 am et
Browns coach Eric Mangini said Friday that he expects Joshua Cribbs (neck, questionable) to play in Week 11.
According to the coach once known as "Mangenius," all of Cribbs' tests came back negative. Cribbs has 22 touches in his last four games, seeing most of his work in the Wildcat. He also 1,236 all-purpose return yards on the year.

 Jason Trusnik - LBNov. 20 - 9:29 am et
Jason Trusnik has started the past two games at outside linebacker for the Browns.
"I think we really got someone special here that we can develop," coordinator Rob Ryan said of the Braylon Edwards trade throw-in. "He'll be a final part of our defense for years to come." Trusnik is coming off an eight-tackle game after pushing David Bowens back inside.

 Chris Jennings - RBNov. 19 - 7:20 pm et
Browns coach Eric Mangini indicated that RB Chris Jennings will continue to see an increased role "if he continues to progress in practice."
The Mangini staff clearly does not see the blocking-challenged Jerome Harrison as its future feature back, and Harrison is hacked off about his decreased role. Though Jennings will likely see more carries at Jamal Lewis' expense, the former CFL special teamer is a downhill runner with limited speed in the worst offense the NFL has seen in some time. He's an extreme long-shot for fantasy value.

 Joshua Cribbs - WRNov. 19 - 5:49 pm et
Josh Cribbs (neck) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
Cribbs is on track to play against the Lions Sunday, but he's not an attractive fantasy option even in return yardage leagues.
 Jamal Lewis - RBNov. 19 - 5:47 pm et
Jamal Lewis (ankle) was limited again in Thursday's practice.
Lewis has been limited for the past few weeks, but he's fully expected to start against the Lions. Even against the Lions, he's just our 37th ranked fantasy RB for this week.
 Joshua Cribbs - WRNov. 19 - 12:10 pm et
Josh Cribbs says that Brady Quinn -- not coach Eric Mangini -- called the "hook and ladder" play that ended with Cribbs getting carted off the field.
To make matters worse for Cribbs, the NFL admitted that the Browns used four timeouts in the second half Monday night, so the play shouldn't have happened. Regardless, Quinn is so far under the bus we can't even see him when you combine the Cribbs situation with his inept play and the Terrell Suggs illegal block.

 Jamal Lewis - RBNov. 18 - 6:22 pm et
Jamal Lewis (ankle) was limited in Browns practice Wednesday.
Lewis got the ball 11 times in Week 10, generating just 41 yards. We couldn't responsibly recommend the declining back even at Detroit in Week 11.
 Dave Zastudil - PNov. 18 - 6:06 pm et
Browns placed P Dave Zastudil (groin) on injured reserve, ending his season.
The Cleveland native and former Ohio Bobcat will give way to Reggie Hodges for the remainder of the season. A new front office will decide in the offseason whether the 31-year-old punter is worth his $1.415M salary for 2010.

 Steve Heiden - TENov. 18 - 6:04 pm et
Browns placed TE Steve Heiden (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season.
He finishes with 10 receptions for 73 yards and one touchdown in seven games. Heiden has been a Brown since 2002, but his career with the team will probably end in the offseason. The 33-year-old is due a $900,000 base salary in 2010 and has finished back-to-back seasons on injured reserve.

 Jake Allen - WRNov. 18 - 5:44 pm et
Browns claimed WR Jake Allen off waivers from the Packers.
Cleveland has been very concerned with its special teams production, and Allen can contribute in that area. He won't make an impact at wide receiver.

 Arnold Harrison - LBNov. 18 - 4:44 pm et
Browns claimed LB Arnold Harrison off waivers from the Steelers.
Harrison, 27, can offer Cleveland little more than special teams value.

 Joshua Cribbs - WRNov. 18 - 12:28 pm et
Browns KR Josh Cribbs (neck) missed practice on Wednesday.
Coach Eric Mangini claims that Cribbs wasn't concussed in his last-play injury Monday night, but he's very questionable to play Sunday against Detroit. The Browns say they're "hopeful" Cribbs will practice later this week.

 Jake Allen - WRNov. 18 - 10:30 am et
Packers waived WR Jake Allen.
Jordy Nelson is healthy again, so Allen is probably headed back to the practice squad. He caught no passes during his three week stint with the big club.

 Brady Quinn - QBNov. 18 - 9:40 am et
Browns coach Eric Mangini confirmed that Brady Quinn will start against the Lions this week.
The question had to be asked after Quinn was horrific on Monday night, posting a 23.5 passer rating in the loss to the Ravens. Quinn has a dream matchup against Detroit, but he's still not even worth a start in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

 Joshua Cribbs - WRNov. 17 - 5:37 pm et
The player rep for Josh Cribbs is irate that his client was left in the game with three seconds remaining for a pointless hook-and-ladder play that led to his hospitalization Monday night.
Cribbs has sacrificed his body all season despite his unfulfilled desire for a new contract. Coach Eric Mangini, who has come under fire for the play, said he would probably do it differently if he could do it over again. Cribbs does not have a concussion, and Mangini is optimistic that he'll play this week.

 Browns Offense - TMNov. 17 - 4:13 pm et
Browns executive adviser Jim Brown revealed Tuesday that owner Randy Lerner was already "meeting with one of the great football minds in this country" to run the VP of football operations role.
Asked if the candidate was Mike Holmgren, Brown responded, "You said it ... and I heard it." Holmgren is believed to the leader in the clubhouse for Lerner's "serious, credible leader" to run the football operations side of the front office. Holmgren isn't expected to make a decision on his future until after the 2009 season.

 Brady Quinn - QBNov. 17 - 2:04 pm et
Ravens players are furious with Brady Quinn after his questionable chop block injured Terrell Suggs in Monday night's game.
"Heck yeah it was a cheap shot," Ray Lewis said of the hit. "I want to see if he gets the same fine I got or even higher. Now this man is out four or five weeks because of some baloney like that."

 Arnold Harrison - LBNov. 17 - 12:11 pm et
Steelers released LB Arnold Harrison.
Harrison is gone because he's part of a kickoff coverage unit that has gotten abused this season for three touchdowns. He'll try to burn the tape of those and catch on somewhere else as a special teamer.

 Joshua Cribbs - WRNov. 17 - 8:31 am et
Josh Cribbs was taken to the hospital after taking a blow to the throat and head area on the final play of Monday night's loss to the Ravens.
Cribbs was released Tuesday morning, according to Alex Marvez of FOX. Coach Eric Mangini said that Cribbs has movement and feeling all over his body and was taken to the hospital as more of a precaution. Expect Cribbs, the Browns only real playmaker, to miss at least one week.
