Cribbs, three others questionable for Sunday

11.20.2009

After suffering an injury on the final play of Monday night's 16-0 home loss to the Ravens, Browns wide receiver/kick return specialist Joshua Cribbs is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions at Ford Field in Detroit.

Cribbs is one of four Browns players listed as questionable for the game, along with offensive lineman Rex Hadnot, running back Jamal Lewis and fullback Lawrence Vickers.

Seven Browns are listed as probable with full participation in Friday's practice, including newly-elected defensive captain, linebacker David Bowens and Pro Bowl defensive lineman Shaun Rogers.

"It's going to take a lot to keep me out of the game," Cribbs said Friday in the open locker room session. "I love it too much. They have to literally take my gear away from me for me not to play.

"We're in the trenches right now," he added. "I can't leave my team out there without me. When I was young, my parents used to ground me from football as a punishment. I love it that much. I don't see myself not wanting to be out there every snap."

Though he did not practice on Wednesday, Cribbs participated on a limited basis Thursday and Friday.

"I think the medical staff did a really good job of making sure every possible step was taken to be right," said Browns head coach Eric Mangini. "I anticipate Josh playing all of the roles he normally plays this week."
