Mary Kay Cabot has posted a story stating that the season ending injury to Browns wide receiver Syndric Steptoe was because of the practice conditions set forth by head coach Eric Mangini.  Steptoe's agent, Jerome Stanley, says that the practice was meant to be a walk-through only because of the rain.

Analysis: Another cause of an injury popping up due to the practice conditions of Mangini, but let's face it.  This is football and the Browns were used to much easier camps under former head coach Romeo Crennel.  Losing Steptoe is not a big loss, as he was likely on the bubble anyways.  At least this way he'll get paid this season on IR, rather than being cut late in August and struggling to find another job across the league.
