Wednesday, September 17, 2008
CLEVELAND — Browns defensive end Robaire Smith will miss the rest of the season after being placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Sept. 16, because of a left Achilles injury. Smith was hurt during Sunday night's 10-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Smith started all 16 games last season with Cleveland and had four sacks.
The Browns (0-2) signed defensive end Santonio Thomas to fill Smith's roster spot.
Thomas spent the past three seasons with the New England Patriots, mainly on the practice squad. He played in four games last season.
