BEREA, Ohio – Yet another Browns' first-round draft pick is headed the wrong way on the depth chart.
Coach Mike Pettine said offensive lineman Cam Erving, the No. 19 overall selection, will not start Sunday against the Niners coming off his dreadful relief performance versus the Bengals. The club plans to play journeyman Austin Pasztor, who replaced Erving in the fourth quarter of a 37-3 blowout loss to the Bengals.
The opening was created by the loss of starter Joel Bitonio, who suffered another ankle injury early in the Bengals' game and has been placed on injured reserve.
