Peyton Hillis Injury: Browns RB Out Versus Rams

by Ryan Van Bibber on Nov 8, 2011 8:02 AM CST in 2011 NFL regular season

Peyton Hillis of the Cleveland Browns will be out of action against the St. Louis Rams this week.

The Cleveland Browns will be without running back and recent distraction Peyton Hillis. The man Josh McDaniels sent to Cleveland for Brady Quinn is dealing with a hamstring injury he re-aggravated in practice. The injury is being called a significant strain. Former Rams seventh-round pick Chris Ogbonnaya will take over the bulk of rushing duties with Hillis on the shelf.

Montario Hardesty is out with a calf injury. Hillis may really be suffering from the dreaded Madden Curse, but I don't really believe in curses.

Ogbonnaya is struggling. He fumbled twice in his last two games, blew blitz pick ups and averaged less than three yards per carry. It makes you think that the Rams maybe saw something after all when they made the decision to cut him.

The Browns present the Rams with a pretty favorable matchup, certainly for the Rams defense. They may also be without wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, who is dealing with concussion-like symptoms.

Let's see how...

spectacularly we can blow this game. Hopefully the Browns don’t have too many rookies playing us because he almost certainly will break some kind of record….

Think Obaganaya(sp?) Isnt

Gonna try and prove a point to us? And in typical RAM fashion we’ll make him look like an All Pro…. 30 for 150 and a TD…I hope I’m wrong.

Actually,

If Obi doesn’t get to 100 Colt (McCoy) probably will.
Jackson has a great chance of getting his 3rd consecutive 100+ yard game against the Browns, they are almost as bad as us against the run.

One teams trash,another teams treasure,could be the #2 WR on this team full of train wrecks.

what about Mark Clayton

I thought we had until this past Monday to activate him off the PUP.

Did we? Or are we just gonna jerk around a good player and not let him on the field.

SJax is still a beast! Best RB in the league!

They have until Wednesday to decide on Clayton.

Been there

If he can get the achille injury corrected in 3 months great for him, I had it and it took 6 months of treatments 3 times week, very painful.

no kidding might as well

we’re not going to the playoffs, probably only win 4 games total; just try and not get more people injured (cough, Salas).
