Injuries piling up for Browns after just 2 games (The Associated Press)

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Two weeks into the season and the Browns are badly bruised.

As they await tests on quarterback Josh McCown's battered left shoulder, Cleveland is dealing with other major injuries to key players.

Starting center Cam Erving sustained a bruised lung and is expected to miss several games, and promising rookie defensive end Carl Nassib broke his hand in Sunday's 25-20 loss to Baltimore and may need surgery.

Erving left the field in the final minute complaining of cramps and discomfort in his chest and ribs. He was immobilized and taken to University Hospitals, where tests revealed the pulmonary contusion.
