game against the Kansas City Chiefs:Cleveland BrownsPositionPlayerInjuryWedThuFriGame StatusPositionPlayerInjuryWedThuFriGame StatusKansas City ChiefsPositionPlayerInjuryWedThuFriGame StatusPositionPlayerInjuryWedThuFriGame StatusInjury NotesThe only player ruled out for Cleveland is LB Joe Schobert.Two players returning from injury this week are WR Rashard Higgins and CB E.J. Gaines. Gaines’ return will allow FS Damarious Randall to return to his free safety role. My big curiosity will be who gets awarded the nickel position between T.J. Carrie and Briean Boddy-Calhoun. Higgins says he is 100% ready to go.The news is less pleasant for WR Antonio Callaway. He hurt his ankle on Thursday and was held out on Friday http://www.thebrownsfootballauthentic.com/joe-schobert-jersey-authentic , and is listed as questionable for Sunday. The other concern is LT Desmond Harrison, who did not practice on Friday with an illness. C JC Tretter has been laboring for weeks on his sore ankle; it looks like the team will try to have him gut it out through the bye week.The Chiefs will be without two players: starting C Mitch Morse and backup LB Frank Zombo. Guess who starts for Morse? Austin Reiter! He will make his second straight start.LB Anthony Hitchens and LB Justin Houston are both questionable for the Chiefs. Houston has missed the past three games, so it is unclear if he’ll be ready to go yet. Hitchens is also shaky on whether he will play. The Cleveland Browns are traveling in familiar waters once again as they have embarked on another head coaching search.This will be the fourth search since owner Jimmy Haslam bought the team in 2012, with the previous hires resulting in Rob Chudzinski, one-and-done after 2013, Mike Pettine Youth Myles Garrett Jersey , done in by the Johnny Manziel circus and his misguided loyalty to defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil, and Hue Jackson, who was let go last week as the worst head coach in NFL history. The one constant through all this has been Haslam, who has had a heavy hand in all the hirings, and who also claims to have learned his lesson every time he first a head coach.This time could be different, however Authentic Terrance Mitchell Jersey , because of the presence of general manager John Dorsey. While Dorsey has never been directly in charge of hiring a head coach in his front office career - he was hired as general manager in Kansas City after Andy Reid was hired as head coach - Dorsey has enough experience and connections throughout the game to help Browns fans sleep a little better at night. But Haslam may have a different plan in mind, according to Robert Klemko at The Monday Morning Quarterback.Klemko took a deeper dive into the reasons behind the firing of Jackson and what comes next for the Browns and, in the process, dropped a piece of information that may not bode well for the future:Yikes!Haslam is the owner and he certainly is within his rights to want to know what is going on with the team. But given his history, he should be more of an observer, rather than a decider Womens David Njoku Jersey , when it comes to selecting the team’s next head coach.Dorsey is in place for a reason, and part of that is to get this coaching hire right. Unless Dorsey goes off the rails with some completely nonsensical suggestion - think Jim Tressel - then Haslam needs to sit back and trust that the people he has in place know what they are doing. Because we all know what happens when he doesn’t, and it is not pretty. cheap football jerseys

Below http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/briean-boddy-calhoun-jersey ,  for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 8 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Defensive LinePosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsMyles Garrett logged another sack, good for his eighth of the season and staying on pace for 16 sacks. But that was the only time Cleveland got to Ben Roethlisberger all game — in fact, it was the only time Big Ben was hit (besides on his quarterback sneaks).Rookie Chad Thomas played three snaps.Larry Ogunjobi had a strong Week 1 against the Steelers, but was a non-factor this time around, finishing with just two tackles.LinebackerPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsJamie Collins and Christian Kirksey each played every snap. Collins forced a fumble on RB James Conner, but Pittsburgh was able to recover it. Kirksey’s two-game streak with interceptions came to an end.Genard Avery also was not able to match his Week 1 performance, as the team sees diminishing returns from him with the higher volume of snaps he plays.CornerbackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsAlthough it was not a shut down day for Denzel Ward, I thought he had one of the better performances on defense, along with Briean Boddy-Calhoun. Ward had a tackle for a loss, knocked a pass away, and recovered a fumble. Here is what PFF had to say about Ward:T.J. Carrie tried punching the ball out from Roethlisberger on a quarterback sneak, but his knee was down before the ball came out.Denzel Rice played a stray snap on defense somewhere.SafetyPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsSo close — Damarious Randall read the Steelers’ screen pass touchdown correctly and could’ve had a pick six or at least a knockdown, but he was just a hair too late.Derrick Kindred logged the second interception of his career and forced his first fumble. He also missed the deep coverage on Antonio Brown’s wide open touchdown grab.Corey Coleman trade seems like a blunder by John Dorsey New general manager John Dorsey has already shed another Cleveland Browns first-rounder in a move that probably surprised no one who’s been paying attention.The Browns now miserably have none of their first rounders from 2009 to 2016 despite making 11 selections in those eight drafts. Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward, Myles Garrett, Jabrill Peppers and David Njoku are the only drafted first-rounders left on their roster.Corey Coleman trade rumors were a big fuss leading up to last April’s NFL draft. After back-to-back injury-riddled seasons to begin his career Authentic Kevin Zeitler Jersey , Coleman was heading into his junior season with a lot to prove to a lot of people.The team addressed the position by welcoming back Josh Gordon—they thought—trading for then extending Jarvis Landry, then drafting Antonio Callaway and Damion Ratley. The receiver room was obviously getting crowded, so Coleman could always have been pegged as the odd man out.While Coleman’s selection with the No. 15 pick by former team personnel chief Sashi Brown may have been somewhat puzzling at the time, Dorsey shipping him off just 10 days into 2018’s training camp, for what we assume is a future day three draft pick (update: a 7th round pick in 2020), is a somewhat equally questionable move.The Browns do have some talent at wide receiver, so from a football perspective moving on from Coleman isn’t the end of the world. Gordon is due back at any time and Duke Johnson should play a role from the slot in certain spots—although the Browns abandoned that largely last season after experimenting with it early in the year—but moving Coleman also represents a detour from the team’s mantra of driving competition at every position group. Coleman was feeling the pressure to compete, and he had strung together a series of pretty positive practices over the last week or so in response to that competition.He was grinding and making it hard for other guys to take his place, maybe to Dorsey’s dismay. After all, Dorsey and most new general managers want to insert their guys, and Callaway—who has looked incredible as well, by the way—is his guy, not Coleman.Moving him now seems to make little sense from a competitive standpoint, especially for what we believe Dorsey was able to secure in return for him—a 7th-round pick in 2020.There are, then, only two possible explanations for the trade that will make this decision make sense: either Coleman was a terrible locker room guy—a bad teammate with a bad work ethic Authentic Genard Avery Jersey , which some have mused to be true—or he is damaged goods, and teams knew both to be true.If neither are correct, then Dorsey moving him at his lowest possible value is a bad, maybe even horrible personnel blunder.If neither are true, then why not allow Coleman to showcase some of his talent that he has flashed in training camp in Cleveland’s upcoming preseason games to potentially increase his value, resulting in a bigger return?After all, teams are going to get desperate eventually. Receivers will get hurt. Guys will not pan out as teams originally anticipated. Some team in any number of scenarios may have offered more draft equity down the line, or maybe a player in exchange after seeing him in action.So if he wasn’t a complete clown as a teammate, and wasn’t damaged goods, there’s no way this trade can be labeled a success. Every move Dorsey makes isn’t going to be a home run, and there are probably some more under-the-surface details we’re missing, but being critical here seems like a rational approach.While it makes sense from a football perspective, from a value standpoint it leaves us wondering if Dorsey could have done a better job in securing a better return for his inherited former first-round pick.
