Troubles continue for the Browns safety Sean Jones, who will be forced to have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, but will not be placed on the injured reserve.
Jones recorded five tackles in the Browns debut against the Cowboys, but couldn’t push aside the swelling in his knee that has plagued him all preseason.
Coach Romeo Crennel made the announcement today and said that Jones will not be placed on injured reserve and that the Browns plan to have him back this season.
Jones first suffered swelling in the knee in the preseason opener against the Jets and experienced it again the following week against the Giants. Jones sat out the final two preseason games, but suffered the swelling again after Sunday’s 28-10 loss to the Cowboys.
The Browns are already shopping for another option at safety, with Jones out and Brodney Pool still recovering from a nasty concussion.
Fellow safety Pool might return from a concussion this week, meaning Mike Adams would start in place of Jones. If Pool is still out, Adams and Nick Sorensen would be the starting safeties.The Browns will have to get some things together fast as they play face a team that some consider the AFC favorite after the Tom Brady injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers, on Sunday night.
