nfl roundup News and notes
Browns: Cleveland defensive lineman C.J. Mosley is done for the season with a leg injury. Mosley got hurt in the first quarter of Sunday’s loss to San Diego. The team placed Mosley on injured reserve, the fifth Cleveland defensive player to go on IR. Browns coach Eric Mangini did not specify Mosley’s injury, but said the 26-year-old will likely have surgery. Mosley left the stadium on crutches and told some teammates he broke his ankle. Mosley, who played for Mangini with the New York Jets, was expected to get more playing time with Kenyon Coleman nursing a knee injury and nose tackle Shaun Rogers out with a season-ending injury.
Jets: Mark Sanchez is not practicing for New York while recovering from a sprained right knee, but coach Rex Ryan is optimistic about the rookie quarterback’s chances of playing Sunday at Tampa Bay. Sanchez sprained the posterior cruciate ligament while diving for a first down in New York’s win on Thursday.
Dolphins: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the Dolphins’ stadium needs more upgrades if South Florida is to remain competitive in the bidding for future Super Bowls. The 22-year-old stadium underwent $250 million in improvements in 2007 but is still falling behind the competition with new stadiums opening in Dallas, Phoenix, Indianapolis and New York.
Texans: Houston quarterback Matt Schaub could play on Sunday against Seattle despite dislocating his non-throwing shoulder this weekend. Coach Gary Kubiak says Schaub has “good chance” of playing this weekend. Schaub was injured on the first play of Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars but returned in the second quarter and finished the game.
