Browns starting tackle Robinson says he's been benched

Cleveland's left tackle said Friday that he's been demoted to a backup role after making 14 straight starts over the past two seasons. Robinson's insertion into the starting lineup midway through last season sparked a second-half surge by the Browns. Quarterback Baker Mayfield was only sacked five times in the final eight games.

Now, Robinson is being sacked.

''I'm not really satisfied with what's going on,'' the 6-foot-5, 330-pound Robinson said. ''I'm just going to work my butt off until I'm back starting.''

Browns coach Freddie Kitchens has been considering a shake-up to his line since the bye week and decided to make the switch before his struggling team visits the unbeaten New England Patriots (7-0) on Sunday.
