Browns cryptic over Barton's year-ending injury

Browns linebacker Eric Barton will miss the rest of the season with an unspecified injury. In announcing on Tuesday that Barton was being placed on injured reserve, the Browns did not reveal his injury or a timetable for their leading tackler's recovery. Barton is Cleveland's second inside linebacker to be sidelined with a season-ending injury. D'Qwell Jackson underwent shoulder surgery last month.
