Browns hit with injuries at linebacker, wide receiver

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have injuries at linebacker and receivers, positions they can least afford them.

Inside linebacker Joe Schobert will be out a few weeks because of a hamstring pull that happened late in Sunday's loss to San Diego. His backup would be James Burgess; he also has a hamstring issue and probably won't play Sunday.

At receiver, Rod Streater fractured a bone in his neck; the team said doctors believe he will make a full recovery, but he is done for the season. Rookie Derrick Willies had surgery Monday to repair a fractured collarbone; he is on injured reserve and is a candidate to return later in the season.
