Zip for four Bears finish Browns’ winless preseason STEVE DOERSCHUKCanton Repository Meanwhile, starting right guard Rex Hadnot went down with a right knee injury midway through the Browns’ second drive.
Hadnot started all four preseason games while Ryan Tucker recovered from a hip injury. Tucker’s return for the Dallas game is uncertain, but he is expected back soon. Right guard is one of the Browns’ deepest positions. Seth McKinney, who started the first eight games last year, replaced Hadnot Thursday. The= Browns were 5-3 in McKinney’s 2007 starts. Two key backups also got hurt. Syndric Steptoe, who has looked promising as a receiver and replaced injured Joshua Cribbs as the return man, left early with a shoulder injury. In a preseason full of nagging injuries to tight ends, the only one who has been healthy all year, Darnell Dinkins, succumbed to a hip injury. Crennel woke up the fans who were left when, trailing 13-10 midway through the fourth quarter, he went for it on fourth-and-2 from the 13. No. 2 fullback Charles Ali made the first down and was saved by a replay challenge — at first he was ruled to have fumbled. Overtime being as desirable as watching reruns of the Great Lakes Classic, Crennel went for it on fourth and goal from the 2. Dorsey scrambled and scrambled and threw incomplete with 5:24 left. An 11-carry, 70-yard rushing game by rookie Travis Thomas, a million-to-one longshot to make the 53-man final roster, was wasted. Dorsey (10-of-20, 92 yards) cemented the loss with an interception near the two-minute warning that handed Chicago a late field goal. But he’s hardly the question. That would be this: Will Anderson be ready for the Cowboys? Or should Quinn stay warm?
