CLEVELAND -- Browns safety Jordan Poyer has been discharged from the hospital after one of his kidneys was lacerated by a vicious hit.Poyer was taken to Nashvilles Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital by ambulance during Sundays 28-26 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Browns said the 25-year-old Poyer, in his fourth season with the team, will return to Cleveland.Poyer was injured on a nasty blindside hit by Titans running back Antonio Andrews while covering a punt in the second quarter. Andrews had an unobstructed run at Poyer before delivering his violent blow, which was penalized.Browns coach Hue Jackson does not think Andrews hit was malicious.I think he was trying to do his job, which was block him, and he did, Jackson said. He blocked him. He might have led with his head a little bit, but that is what he got flagged for. That is part of this game.Andrews received a personal foul and will be fined by the NFL.Poyers serious injury is the latest for the Browns, who have placed 12 players -- including quarterback Robert Griffin III -- on IR this season. The team can bring one player off IR after eight games.The team said starting left guard Joel Bitonio underwent foot surgery on Monday. The Browns expect Bitonio, who got hurt on the final play of the first half against New England on Oct. 9, to make a full recovery and be ready for the 2017 season. Bitonio is one of Clevelands best players and his loss has forced Jackson to again re-shuffle his offensive line.Also, Browns center Austin Reiter underwent reconstructive left knee surgery Tuesday in Cleveland. Reiter tore his anterior cruciate ligament on Oct. 2 against the Washington Redskins, his former team.Because of the rash of injuries, the Browns have started three quarterbacks and played five this season. Theyve also had three centers, lost their starting kicker and before the season started, they lost defensive end Desmond Bryant, their sacks leader in 2015, with a chest injury. In addition, wide receiver Josh Gordon entered rehab just days before he was to return from a four-game league drug suspension.---Online: AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Toby Alderweireld Belgium Jersey .

Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks.

The NFL will send teams an explanatory video to clarify this seasons spate of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said Tuesday.Blandino, however, reiterated that the emphasis on such calls has come at the direction of the leagues competition committee and wont be relaxed as the season continues.Taunting calls this season have risen 220 percent compared to the first four weeks of last season, while other unsportsmanlike penalties -- primarily for celebrations -- are up 56 percent, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.Many players have said they werent aware that their penalized acts were illegal, and Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin -- a member of the competition committee -- said Tuesday he thought the league should provide clarification.Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been penalized twice this season for twerking during post-touchdown celebrations.The video about clarification should be circulated within the next week, Blandino said during an appearance on NFL Network.We certainly want thhe teams to have clarification, Blandino said, and this isnt a new issue.ddddddddddddWeve been dealing with this in the past. And so were going to send a tape out in the next week or so and clarify some of these things. But the key is if its a gesture that either mimics a violent act -- thats something with a firearm or a bow and arrow -- or a sexually suggestive act, those are unsportsmanlike conduct. Thats ... something that officials will flag. Thats direct from the competition committee and something that were going to try to be as consistent as possible.Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was penalized last Sunday for mimicking the act of shooting a bow and arrow during a celebration after receiving a warning for a similar act two weeks earlier. Referee Jeff Triplettes announcement of the penalty has been mocked on social media.We certainly dont want our officials getting too specific with the announcement, Blandino said. ' ' '
