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.  

Tight ends Robert Royal and Steve Heiden are among the Browns inactives for this afternoon's game against the Packers.  

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.  

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.  

Browns coach Eric Mangini has defended his practices one day after running back Jamal Lewis complained that Cleveland's players are being worked too hard. Lewis asserted that Mangini was wearing out his players during the week with 2 1/2 - to 3-hour workouts and they had nothing left by kickoff 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.  

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 Cleveland Browns have not yet sold out next Monday night's game against Baltimore and are facing their first TV blackout since 1995. A team spokesman said "a few thousand" tickets remained for the game and it was too early to say whether the game would be televised in the Cleveland area.  

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.
