Garmon, Bodden out for season after injuries against the Ravens
BEREA (AP) -- Browns offensive guard Kelvin Garmon and defensive back Leigh Bodden are out for the season after sustaining injuries in Cleveland's loss on Sunday in Baltimore.
Garmon injured his medial collateral, anterior cruciate and posterior ligaments in his right knee. Coach Butch Davis said doctors will wait until swelling subsides in the knee before determining if Garmon needs surgery.
He will need four to six months to recover.
Bodden, the club's best special teams player, tore a chest muscle in the second half. Davis said Bodden stayed in for three or four plays after being hurt.
Bodden didn't realize the extent of his injury until he started to pump his arms while running.
Garmon and Bodden are the latest key Browns lost for the season, joining Kellen Winslow Jr., Courtney Brown, Ben Taylor and Brant Boyer.
Garmon's injury weakens an offensive line that already is having trouble opening holes or protecting quarterback Jeff Garcia.
Wide receiver Andre' Davis (toe) and punter Derrick Frost (ankle) are both day to day with injuries as Cleveland prepares to host Pittsburgh Sunday.
