Browns' Glenn Winston: Placed on IR

Winston (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Nate Ulrich of Ohio.com reports.

Analysis:

Winston hasn't practiced since Aug. 15 and missed the team's last two preseason games with a hurt shoulder. Instead of cutting him, the Browns decided to place him on IR with hopes he'll be able to contribute at some point in the future. The 27-year-old was far down on the depth chart before being injured, fighting with a handful of other players for the third running back spot.
