BREAKING NEWS: Peek Done for Year, Orr Re-signed

Updating on a story we posted yesterday, it was confirmed today that Browns LB Antwan Peek suffered a torn patella tendon and will be out for the rest of the season. He had surgery Thursday morning to repair the tendon.

With Peek on the injured reserve now, the team went out and signed LB Shantee Orr again. Orr will figure into the rotation at outside linebacker this Sunday, but rookie LB Alex Hall is still scheduled to receive the bulk of Peek's intended reps.

I never thought it'd be possible, but Peek has just about already shattered Courtney Brown's injury record.

BTW, I love the RotoWorld headline:

The Browns will sign Shantee Orr off their practice squad.
He takes Antwan Peek’s roster spot. Rookie seventh-round pick Alex Hall will get plenty of snaps rotating with Willie McGinest now.

Let’s stash McGinest on the practice squad next year ;)

Another?

I thought patella tendon tears weren’t that common.

Phil: start scouting pass rushing LBs now. We needed one anyway, now we really really need one. Even if Hall ends up being a monster.

Rosevelt Colvin is a potential option. Not saying we can/should go after him, but he’s out there.

True.

Do you think he will command a whole lot less money now that he has been cut from a team?

I was thinking more about the upcoming draft. Tons of those 250-270lbs fast DEs in the college ranks…

Dunno...pride can make a man delusional about his worth. See: Culpepper, Daunte

I am excited to see how Hall handles being a major part of this defense. For some reason, I think this kid will be a monster.

We do seem to hear about 1 low-round pick each year that puts up sacks left and right. It’s still a long shot to project who will become that 1 person, but I hope Hall develops into that guy.

Out of all of our lack-luster draft picks I was excited to see Hall play, I did a lot of reading on him and its going to be exciting to see him get this opportunity. Not to mention Rucker when he comes back he’s going to do some damage being able to let Winslow push out to the #3 wideout slot.

Who was "lackluster"

and what exciting players did you want the Browns to select instead? Rucker was a great pick in the 4th, Beau Bell was a guy I had at least heard of, as was Rubin, and Hubbard is a guy with a lot of upside that we got really really late in what was perceived as a weak draft.

Hall was the least exciting pick at the time for me. Mostly because some services had him listed at 6’5", 215lbs, which he clearly is not. Was it just the position he plays and our need?

For the record, allow me to say: "Well, shit."

Can’t wait till Bell comes back…I have a good feeling about that kid
