We're kidding, but maybe we shouldn't be…the New York Giants injury situation is rising to almost comedic levels as the 0-4 Cleveland Browns come rolling into town. Paul Dottino of WFAN reports that Antrel Rolle is likely to miss the upcoming game (though Rolle disagrees), joining fellow starting safety Kenny Phillips in that regard. There's no reason to expect Hakeem Nicks back, and Rocky Bernard, Ramses Barden, Corey Webster and Michael Boley all sat out today's practice, leaving their status up in the air (at best). Oh, and we forgot to mention that right guard Chris Snee only did individual drills. Jenny Vrentas of NJ.com does her best to breakdown what is sure to be the least interesting and most time consuming part of an NFL beat writer's job. In perhaps an effort to keep herself sane in the face of covering a health and wellness beat when she signed up for sports reporting, she finds a silver lining: In better injury news for the Giants, C David Baas (han...

Mike Holmgren should keep his job with the Browns

Everyone Cleveland Browns fan is willing to fire Mike Holmgren and everyone on the Browns coaching staff now, but the progress the Browns will make in 2012 should save his job.

Cleveland Browns Film Room: Scripting the Opening Offensive Series

Let’s see exactly what they did and what they might have been telegraphing...

  Just when you think the injury news can't get any worse … it does. The New York Giants released their final injury report for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, and it wasn't pretty.

The Giants look to get straight against the worst team in the league. Week 5 preview.

I'm a huge Eli Manning fan and think he's a sure fire Hall of Fame QB right now. However, the Giants can be an up and down team. This game should be perfect for them to get things straight on both sides of the ball. Their defensive line will harass Weeden all day and should land sacks from everyone on the line. Eli should be able to throw all over the field and hopefully...

Another NY Giant Loss? WR Barden Questionable for Game With Concussion

In a surprising addition to the injury report today, the Giants announced the WR Ramses Barden suffered a concussion in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday.

Browns starting strong safety T.J. Ward returned to practice Thursday after undergoing surgery on his right thumb this past weekend.

Jimmy Haslam III won't spend his first days as owner of the Browns handing out pink slips.

Browns wide receiver Josh Cribbs returned to practice today, just six days after getting blasted in the head by Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Osi Umenyiora tells Trent Richardson to bring it

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Trent Richardson indicated this week that he sees some holes in the New York Giants defense that he can run the ball through. “I think that if we cover the edges and run hard, no doing all this juking and that, one move and go, I think we can have success in the running game,” Richardson said. Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora wants to see...
