The NFL has suspended Browns’ starting right offensive tackle Ryan Tucker for the first 4 games of the 2007 season for violating the leagues steroids policy. The Browns are darn lucky that they didn’t trade last seasons’ starting left tackle….Kevin Shaffer, who will now be the starting right tackle for the Cleveland Browns for at least the first 4 weeks of the season.
Starting left defensive end Orpheus Roye will have knee surgery tomorrow and that could cause him to miss the start of the 2007 season. He played in only 9 games last season for the Browns and he made 32 tackles, had 1 sack and defensed 1 pass. Roye has played in 161 games in his NFL career and he has made 470 tackles, has 18 sacks, 2 interceptions, defensed 36 passes, forced 5 fumbles and recovered 5 fumbles. The Browns will likely have Shaun Smith and Simon Fraser battle for the starting job if Roye isn’t ready to go against his old team (the Steelers) on opening day.
