Two things have been givens in Cleveland this fall: an overwhelming excitement over the return of LeBron James (as if ESPN doesn’t remind you every 21 seconds) to the Cavaliers and an injury to Browns TE Jordan Cameron.

In the case of the latter, Cameron’s latest injury will leave him sidelined for at least the next two games after he suffered his third concussion in two years during last Sunday’s win over the Oakland Raiders. He has not been cleared for practice, let alone being able to participate in game action.

Cameron has played in just five games this season, catching 13 passes for 250 yards and one touchdown. His 5-102-1 line in Cleveland’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 12 was the latest example of why the Browns have been thrilled about Cameron’s potential, but his concussion history has curtailed the fourth-year pro from USC.

Cleveland will go forward with Gary Barnidge and Jim Dray in place of Cameron.

“He and Gary both mean a lot,” coach Mike Pettine said. “Jim’s been the ultimate professional. Hardly says a word. All he does is work. Very intelligent. Very interactive with the staff. Knows all the different spots. Very versatile. And he’s made plays for us. He’s gotten open and when the ball’s thrown to him, he’s caught it. Nothing flashy. Fills a great role for us. He’ll have to step up when Jordan’s out, as will Gary.”
