Don’t worry about the turf toe. It’s more likely to heal with a good outcome. Back up running backs are easier to replace.
As a Browns fan and sports medicine professional, I worry about 2 things.
1. Steinbach’s back. If it is a disc, or discs, his days as a top shelf starting guard are likely over. Even with a good outcome, he wont be able to train or perform as he needs to. I’ve seen it time and time again. They NEVER return to form. Especially not elite level athletes. Hasselback is the only one that comes to mind.
2. The Madden Curse, er, the Cleveland Curse. Hillis will be sooo beat up that the line and his back ups will matter.
With no line and no running game, it won’t matter who the receivers are.
Once again as the preseason ends in Cleveland, so does the relevancy of our team.
Wish I could be sad, but I’ve become sooo used to it.
C’mon Browns prove me wrong!

Bummer of a loss but take your time man. I read on WebMD or somwhere that is turf toe goes untreated or if you don’t let it heal all the way you could lose the ability to walk on that foot.

Jackson is a tough dude, if he has to play through it for his team, he’ll do it. Get well soon thou.

I think Steinbach has compressed discs. If so, that will be a HUGE loss. Jackson hasn’t really shown much in pre-season anyway. The biggest concern in Cleveland is the receiving corps, or lack thereof.

so what about the more important player Eric Steinbach? That’s my biggest concern
