Browns' Luke Floriea: Exits with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Floriea left Friday's preseason game with the Panthers due to a hamstring injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Floriea made a nice one-handed catch in the second quarter down the right sideline, but he appeared to suffer the injury on that play. The Browns also used him as a returner for both punts and kickoffs. Nothing is settled in the receiving corps beyond the top two, and the next few weeks are critical for Floriea's bid for a roster spot. Any missed time will be detrimental.
