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.

Dolphins LB Roth is ready to return after Oct.25 game
Having been sidelined by a groin injury since the start of training camp, the Miami Dolphins linebacker Matt Roth said Wednesday that he is healthy enough now to play games and the team plans to have him return after the Oct. 25th game against the New Orleans Saints.
Roth is now on the Dolphins’ reserve-non-football injury list and will return as a reserve. Because of the injury, his starting job has been lost to six-time Pro Bowl selection Jason Taylor. But as a reserve, he still has chance to start for the Dolphins in case Taylor had to be sidelined for some reason.
As Roth is preparing for his return, injured running back Patrick Cobbs had to face the end of his season after being placed on injured reserve list with an injury to his left knee. The Dolphins signed running back Kory Sheets off the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad Wednesday to fill Cobbs’ position. Sheets, the second-leading rusher in Purdue University history, put on 49ers jersey this year as an undrafted free agent and scored three touchdowns during the preseason.
