Another week, another Cleveland Browns player placed on season-ending injured reserve.

This time it is defensive lineman Emmanuel Stephens, who was placed on IR on Tuesday with a neck injury suffered in Sunday's win against San Diego.

Stephens joins linebacker Scott Fujita and left guard Jason Pinkston on the list of Browns players who are done for the season with injuries.

Stephens played in all eight games for the Browns this year, getting nine tackles. His biggest play was a strip-sack of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton that helped preserve the Browns first win of the season.

This is the second year in a row that Stephens has wound up on the IR list. Last year, a torn pectoral muscle knocked him out after 11 games.
