Cleveland, Ohio - Browns coach Eric Mangini revealed today that linebacker D'Qwell Jackson will undergo surgery to repair his right partially torn pectoral muscle.

Jackson was placed on injured reserve Saturday and will be out for the season.

"It didn't respond" the way the Browns thought it would with rest and treatment, Mangini said.

In other Browns news:
* Mangini acknowledged cornerback Eric Wright "didn't have a good day" and didn't try to sugarcoast it or blame it on lack of pass-rush or backside help. But he said he has confidence in Wright and has no plans of benching him.

* Wright said he'll come back on Sunday and be the player everyone expects him to be and more. "I made it way too easy" for Anquan Boldin to score three TDs, Wright said.

* Mangini said he's not sure yet if Seneca Wallace will start Sunday vs. Cincinnati in place of Jake Delhomme (ankle) again.

* Linebacker Marcus Benard, who sat out Sunday with an ankle injury, said he'll be back practicing Wednesday.
