If true, this marks the second key loss for Cleveland in the last 2 days. Center Alex Mack, a 6 year veteran and former pro-bowler, was likely lost for the season during yesterday’s 31-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns are 3-2 thus far on the season, and have looked very good even in those 2 losses.

However, there is some uncertainty now with both Mack and Bryant likely gone. Will Brian Hoyer’s performance be impacted? How formidable are the Browns on defense without one of their premier lineman?

The good news for Cleveland is their next three opponents should provide for a warm up for their November 6th showdown at Cincinnati. Their next game is on the road against the 0-5 Oakland Raiders. After that, they begin a 2 week home stretch that will see them face the 0-6 Jacksonville Jaguars and the struggling 1-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
