The Cleveland Browns lost another offensive lineman to injury Sunday when starting center Nick Harris suffered a knee injury in the first half of their game against the New Orleans Saints.

Harris was injured on the Browns' second offensive possession, and he was replaced by Ethan Pocic.

The Browns are already without starting right guard Wyatt Teller, who is on injured reserve with a calf injury.

Browns place Nick Harris on injured reserve

The Browns placed Harris on injured reserve on Monday, which means he will miss at least the next four games.

Pocic is expected to start in Harris' place, and the Browns could also consider signing a free agent center.

The Browns are hoping to get Teller back soon, but there is no timetable for his return.

Browns offensive line struggles in loss to Saints

The Browns' offensive line struggled in Sunday's loss to the Saints, allowing five sacks and 11 quarterback hits.

The Browns were also unable to generate much of a running game, as they rushed for just 77 yards on 22 carries.

The Browns will need to improve their offensive line play in order to be successful this season.

Browns face tough schedule in coming weeks

The Browns have a tough schedule in the coming weeks, as they face the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, and Baltimore Ravens in their next three games.

The Steelers and Bengals are both undefeated, and the Ravens are 1-1.

The Browns will need to play well in order to win these games and stay in the playoff race.
