The Cleveland Browns will be without starting middle linebacker Joe Schobert on Sunday when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road.Schobert injured his hamstring during the dispiriting loss to the Los Angeles Chargers Odell Beckham Jersey White , and while it does not sound like a major injury, Schobert is not sure how long he will be out, according to clevelandbrowns.com:It is nice that Schobert is being optimistic, but history suggests that it could be a few weeks before the Browns see him back on the field.According to a story over the summer by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, there are three types of hamstring injuries - simple pull, partial tear and complete tear - and while there is no reason to believe that Schobert has anything other than a simple hamstring pull, the news is still not good.Fowler referenced a 2011 study for the U.S. National Library of Medicine conducted by several doctors that found that players missed an average of 2.6 games whenever they suffered a hamstring injury. And if a player tries to rush back, they run the risk of making the injury worse.If the average holds true for Schobert, he may not be back until the November 11 game against the Atlanta Falcons.That will be a tough blow for a Browns defense that was already thin at the linebacker position. In addition to Schobert being out, the team lost backup James Burgess - who was released this week, cleared waivers, re-signed and placed on injured reserve. While Christian Kirksey will take over Schobert’s role in the middle Womens Myles Garrett Jersey , and rookie Genard Avery will move into Kirksey’s slot, the Browns will roll into the Tampa game with Tanner Vallejo, Xavier Woodson-Luster and D’Juan Hines serving as the second unit.Which should be all kinds of fun. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns coach Freddie Kitchens doesn’t want his players fearing the sky-high expectations being placed on them.“I want everybody to understand this: Our goal here with the Cleveland Browns is always to win the Super Bowl,” he said. “I don’t want to ever be scared to talk about what our goal is.“If you’re not going to jump out of the airplane, then don’t put the parachute on. I want guys who put the parachute on.”The first-year head coach and general manager John Dorsey conducted a joint news conference Wednesday on the eve of training camp, which will be held at the franchise’s suburban headquarters.All tickets for the 15 open practices have been distributed, reflecting the excitement surrounding the Browns after rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield led them to a 7-8-1 season.Adding wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and defensive end Olivier Vernon — both Pro Bowl players — has changed the perception of a team that finished 0-16 two years ago and went 635 days and 19 games without a victory until beating the Jets on Sept. 20, 2018.“Odell is a great player and I like great players that want to win,” Kitchens said. “I also like great players that want to be themselves. I like great players that can get open and make big catches. All those things, I think he does very well. Our job as coaches is to put him into position to make plays.”Mayfield, Beckham and wide receiver Jarvis Landry attempted to expedite the process by working out together in California. Mayfield also spent considerable time cultivating his celebrity and got married Womens Nick Chubb Jersey , but Kitchens isn’t concerned about his focus drifting away from football.“Baker knows what he’s doing, don’t ever have a misconception about that,” said Kitchens, who served as Cleveland’s running backs coach and offensive coordinator last season.“Baker hasn’t changed from the first day he got here as a rookie. I want him to be who he is, but also, he’s a 24-year-old guy and he’s got a lot of life to live. He’s not going to change for anyone. He’s always going to speak the truth. That’s what I like about him.”One area of concern is running back, where Duke Johnson publicly requested a trade after the team signed ex-Chiefs standout Kareem Hunt. Johnson did report to camp on time.Second-year pro Nick Chubb is the starter, and Hunt was suspended for eight games following an act of domestic violence that prompted Kansas City to release him. He has been placed on the active/non-football injury list with a groin problem.Dorsey said he has spoken with Johnson’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and termed their discussions productive. He also addressed Hunt’s recent argument outside a downtown Cleveland bar, noting the team and NFL consider it a non-issue.“Freddie and I both had a chance to sit down with him,” Dorsey said. “Kareem understands there are no guarantees in life. He is going about exactly what he has been going about. He is working his fanny off Bernie Kosar Jersey , on the field as well as off the field.”Kitchens expects to see similar energy from the rest of the roster now that camp has arrived.“This is the only business in the world where you hire 90 guys, only to fire half of them,” he said. “Right now, we’re just a bunch of individual good players. Until we do something, that’s all we are is a bunch of good players. This game is about winning. That’s all this is about every day.”NOTES: Contract extension talks are under way with S Damarious Randall, who will be an unrestricted free agent in March. Dorsey said he has had “a lot of good conversations” with his agent, Dave Butz. Randall made four interceptions and 84 tackles for Cleveland last season after shifting from cornerback. . Dorsey wore a Browns sweatshirt and Kitchens sported a Brownie the Elf cap and team-logo pullover, which is their traditional news conference attire. “Do you think we read GQ magazine cover to cover?” Dorsey joked. Kitchens feigned shock and shot back, “Well, I might.”
