Browns placed DE Emmanuel Stephens on injured reserve, ending his season. | ||||||
Stephens never returned to the game last week after sustaining a neck injury in the first half. A rotational end, Stephens had been the Browns' most productive per-play pass rusher this season. They need Jabaal Sheard to step up in the second half. | ||||||

Browns DC Dick Jauron suggested RE Emmanuel Stephens (I.R., pectoral) could return as the incumbent starter in 2012. | ||||||
"I was so happy with Emmanuel, and how hard he plays," Jauron said. The Browns also want to bring back 33-year-old OLB Scott Fujita, who Jauron says is the "definition of a pro" and "clearly a guy that takes care of himself." | ||||||

Browns RE Emmanuel Stephens will miss "significant time" after straining his pectoral in Sunday's loss. | ||||||
Any time someone is slated to miss "signifcant time" in Week 13, they're a good bet to be placed on injured reserve. Jayme Mitchell should fill-in at right end against the Ravens provided he's over his ankle injury. Stephens replaced Mitchell as the Browns' starting right end in Week 11. | ||||||

| Mon Nov 21 2011 | 14:15 | Browns bench DE Mitchell for Stephens | ||||
The Browns have benched RE Jayme Mitchell in favor of Emmanuel Stephens going forward. | ||||||
Mitchell got out of the gates hot with 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in the Browns' first three games, but he's been a non-factor ever since. At 6-foot-3, 255, Stephens more fits the profile of a weak-side rusher than Mitchell (6'6/285). Stephens, however, doesn't have a sack on the year. The Browns will need to find another edge pass rusher in the offseason. | ||||||
