Eric Wright injured

[Neo]

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns starting cornerback Eric Wright has injured his right leg during practice.


Wright got hurt during seven-on-seven drills about halfway through the Browns' morning workout Tuesday. He was attended to on the sideline by trainers, who put an ice wrap on Wright's leg. He limped to the team's training facility for further treatment.
Wright's injury appeared to be to his hamstring.
A second-round pick in 2007, Wright had four interceptions last season. If he is out for any extended period, rookie Joe Haden would likely take his spot.

Sorry, don't know if this was already posted. Forgive me if it was.

No I didn't see it posted anywhere else.
Nice to have depth in the backfield although Wright would be a huge loss,hope it's just a tweaked hammy.

[hammertime]

picking Haden was such an awesome pick.

Cleveland Browns injuries come in threes at morning session

BEREA -- Observations, opinions and some facts on the Browns morning practice ...


* Three defensive players left the practice with different degrees of injuries. The most serious appeared to be a hamstring or thigh injury to cornerback Eric Wright. It's not a leap to suspect the injury would push Joe Haden into the starting spot in the first preseason game in Green Bay on Saturday. Also, defensive lineman Brian Schaefering and linebacker Marcus Benard left the field under their own power and then were carted to the building (it's quite a walk from the field they were on). No updates from the club.
* Right tackle Tony Pashos, who missed the first few days of camp during a bout of food poisoning, has missed the last two days with an apparent shoulder injury. He missed 11 games last season in San Francisco with a shoulder injury. No update from the club.
* Haden apologized to coach Eric Mangini for Tweeting that a player was fined $1,760 for having his cellphone go off in a meeting. That followed Brandon McDonald's infamous Tweet about Terrell Owens. All of which has Mangini and his bosses pondering a club social media policy. Great line from Mangini: "I think our social media policy is a work in progress. We'll iron it out. Sometimes with ironing you have to apply a little steam."
* Safety T.J. Ward intercepted a Jake Delhomme pass intended for Benjamin Watson. Watson also had two drops and was not happy with them.
* Just a fantastic catch by Josh Cribbs in the right corner of the end zone on a perfect pass from Seneca Wallace. Cribbs caught it over his right shoulder with one hand as he was tumbling to the ground. Gerard Lawson's coverage was pretty good on the play.
* The Monday practice was so bad -- Mangini called parts of it "horrendous" -- that the coach challenged his team to put two good ones together on Tuesday. It appeared that the morning session qualified as good. Mangini wants to see his players put bad plays, bad days, behind them, so the evening session will be a test.

We really need Wright this year. There are just too many good receivers on our schedule for him to miss an extended period of time.

On the bright side, this will throw Haden into the fire early. That's a very good thing, in my opinion. Also, I keep seeing positive write-ups or updates on the play of TJ Ward. Having a playmaker at safety does wonders for a defense.

Good luck, Joe and get well, Eric. We need both of you this year.

Hopefully it will heal quickly whatever it is..hammy or whatever..good news is more 1st team reps for Joe and Bmac will need to step up along with the rest of they guys.. keep your fingers crossed.

Okay I was upset about D'Qwell but this just tips the scales. Wright was going to be an important peice of our puzzle, now we can't get ahead of ourselves but hamstring injuries are never good. They can be the kind of injuries that plague a player. Wright is a professional and he will bounce back! *Optimism*

Just ask Dante Stallworth how those hammie injuries work.
Thank god Eric hasn't got that big deal or else he might decode to take the season off.
