Steve Heiden

Browns kicker Phil Dawson and tight end Steve Heiden will not play against the Steelers today. Both veterans were downgraded to out on the injury report released by the Browns on Saturday. They had been listed as questionable.  

Cleveland wide receiver/return specialist Joshua Cribbs once again was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable as he attempts to get ready for the Browns' home test versus Green Bay on Sunday.  

Down two starting inside linebackers, the Cleveland Browns have signed free agent linebacker Josh Stamer. Stamer has appeared in 86 games during a seven-year career with the New York Giants, Seattle, Buffalo and Tennessee. He was released by the Titans on Sept. 5. The Browns have lost linebackers D'Qwell Jackson and Eric Barton to season-ending injuries.  

The Browns have averted their first TV blackout since 1995. The team announced Thursday night that the remaining tickets for Monday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens have been purchased by the Browns, ESPN, Bud Light and WJW-TV, which will air the game. The Browns said the four entities will distribute the tickets to the USO and other local organizations.  

Cleveleand Browns running back Jamal Lewis says he's frustrated by another losing season and coach Eric Mangini is pushing his players too hard. Lewis, who intends to retire after this season, said Thursday that he doesn't want to be a "babysitter" to Cleveland's younger players.  

Brady Quinn and the Cleveland Browns are right back where they started. Benched by coach Eric Mangini just 2 1/2 games and 69 pass attempts into the season, Quinn will start Monday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens, the team he was facing on Sept. 27 when the former Notre Dame star was yanked at halftime.  

Browns linebacker Eric Barton will miss the rest of the season with an unspecified injury. In announcing on Tuesday that Barton was being placed on injured reserve, the Browns did not reveal his injury or a timetable for their leading tackler's recovery. Barton is Cleveland's second inside linebacker to be sidelined with a season-ending injury.  

The bye week didn't change Eric Mangini. He's still keeping secrets. Cleveland's coach did not reveal his starting quarterback for next Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. During the Browns' bye week, Mangini said he would announce "early next week" if it would be Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn under center on national TV.  

Brady Quinn has always loved the bright lights. Playing under them makes the Cleveland Browns quarterback shine. "I like playing night games," he said. "Takes you back to those high school days, I guess." Those were mostly on Friday nights. Quinn may wish Monday night that he was back in the hallways of Dublin Coffman High, his alma mater near Columbus.
