Browns K Pat Murray hurts knee as Cleveland's injury woes continue
The Cleveland Browns have officially caught the injury bug as kicker Pat Murray was added to an already lengthy injury report after suffering a knee injury on Friday.
According to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, head coach Hue Jackson said the team will have to bring in another kicker if Murray is unable to play on Sunday when they visit Miami. In addition to Murray, the Brown's top cornerback, Joe Haden, is now questionable with a groin injury and missed Friday's walk-through.
Quarterback Josh McCown's collarbone injury will force him out for a few games or more, meaning it's on to their third string QB in this year's third-round draft pick Cody Kessler. The Browns have also ruled out center Cameron Erving (lung bruise), defensive end Carl Nassib (hand), emerging wideout Corey Coleman (broken hand) and safety Ibraheim Campbell (hamstring).
So how about a kicker? The Browns will have to work the phones for a backup plan while they receive requests on Twitter for auditions. Here's former Ohio State Buckeyes kicker Drew Basil:
@Browns I am available and a short drive from Cleveland. Give me a chance, I won't disappoint.
