The Cleveland Browns' running back situation continues to get messier. Shaun Draughn walked onto the practice field this week with a cast on his left hand, placing him on a lengthy list of backs slowed by injury.

Running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery wants a defined back this season and said it was a "total setback" that not every member of his group reported in premium shape.
Terrance West had been out with a calf strain and rookie Duke Johnson will miss the preseason opener due to a hamstring problem. These injuries have given Isaiah Crowell a chance to seize the starter's job, but neither he nor any of his running back teammates have done so.
"How can you play and not want to be a starter?" Montgomery said. "I mean to me, it just bothers me that guys don't want to be the lead bell-cow guy. I mean, you want ... this game gives you so much. I always talk to them about what this game gives you as a young person, but what it does for them in life and to their families."
Hopefully the Browns sort this out sooner rather than later.
