Browns $30 Million Defender Ruled Out for Week 9

The Cleveland Browns will have to regroup from their lopsided loss in Pittsburgh without one of their most dependable defensive linemen. Maliek Collins has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Saints with an elbow injury. The veteran defensive tackle missed all three practices this week after getting hurt during Cleveland's 27-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He returned in the second half, but the injury will now cost him his first game this season. It is another obstacle for the 5-3 Browns as they try to keep their promising start from slipping away.
