Freddie Kitchens indicates Damarious Randall benching short term

Cleveland Browns coach Freddie Kitchens indicated Monday that safety Damarious Randall's benching was likely for one game only.

"His status going forward is he'll come back this week and I'm assuming we'll do everything we need to do to be on the field,'' Kitchens said, according to Cleveland.com.

Randall, the team's starting free safety, was made inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers for an unspecified violation, but ESPN's Jake Trotter reported that Randall missed a practice last week. The news was not announced until Saturday when Randall did not make the bus trip with his teammates to Pittsburgh.
