| Berea, OH (Best E Casino) - The Cleveland Browns announced Tuesday they have placed punter Dave Zastudil on injured reserve and that Reggie Hodges will handle the punting duties in 2010.

The 31-year-old is a veteran of eight NFL seasons and holds a 36.4-yard net average for his career. In his fourth year in Cleveland last season, Zastudil netted 39.1 yards per punt. Hodges appeared in eight games for the |

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -Cleveland Browns punter Dave Zastudil is out for the season because of a right knee injury. Coach Eric Mangini said Zastudil's surgically repaired knee was not responding, so the team decided to place him on injured reserve, ending his season before it started. Zastudil missed eight games last season with a torn patellar tendon in his plant leg. Zastudil had an operation during the offseason, and recently visited his surgeon after having problems during training camp. Mangini said he |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -The Green Bay Packers' preseason-opening loss to the Cleveland Browns might have given their fans cause for concern in several areas, but the most important player seemed to be in midseason form: quarterback Aaron Rodgers. While the Packers' first-string defense struggled against the Browns' offense on Saturday night, sure-handed running back Ryan Grant lost a fumble the first time he touched the ball and the special teams looked just as shaky as they were last year, Rodgers picked up |

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -One drive. That's all it took for Jake Delhomme to convince Cleveland Browns fans not to worry about their starting quarterback. For the first time in ages, the Browns are not in the midst of a QB controversy and there isn't one brewing after Delhomme's impressive debut in Saturday night's exhibition win at Green Bay. The 35-year-old completed 6 of 7 passes for 66 yards while leading the Browns on a game-opening touchdown drive. Delhomme's backup, Seneca Wallace, was equally appealing a |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Packers running back Ryan Grant took a hit to the head and needed help from trainers after being tackled in the first quarter of Green Bay's exhibition opener against the Cleveland Browns.

He had a gain of 6 yards up the middle when he was hit hard by linebacker Chris Gocong and defensive end Robaire Smith. Several |
