CLEVELAND -- Browns receiver Josh Cribbs suffered a head injury with 9:12 left in the second quarter when he was drilled helmet-to-helmet by fellow former Golden Flash James Harrison of the Steelers and will not return.
Harrison also forced Cribbs to fumble on the Wildcat run, but Browns guard Floyd Womack recovered. Cribbs remained down on the field for a few minutes and then walked off with some assistance from trainers. A few minutes later, he walked into the locker room, carrying his helmet.
Harrison was not flagged for the helmet-to-helmet hit. Later in the quarter, Harrison crushed Mohamed Massaquoi after a catch to send him to the sidelines, at least for the final two minutes of the first half.
