Browns' DeAndre Carter: Sidelined for weeks

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Carter (knee) will miss "weeks," Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Cleveland's top kick and punt returner sustained a knee injury in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday and will now be sidelined for the coming weeks. Carter had already tallied 274 kick-return and 56 punt-return yards over just four games, so this could be a huge loss to the Browns' special-teams unit. Jerome Ford will likely be the primary kickoff returner in Carter's absence, while wideouts Isaiah Bond and Kaden Davis, currently on the practice squad, could also see increased duties on special teams.
