I'm not a fan of preseason and will just sim it. Cleveland went 1-3 with a victory over the Lions. The regular season is set to start, but before that let's have a look at what teams got set back with injuries.

Major Injuries Rock NFL

The Washington Redskins worst dream has officially come true. Before the 2010 NFL Draft, the Redskins traded for then-Eagles QB Donovan McNabb. He played for the Redskins in the preseason, and much to the players and fans disappointment, came out with a season-ending injury. The Redskins medical staff has reported McNabb suffered a "severe concussion" and will not be able to play for the remainder of the season.

After all that, however, McNabb's injury is only the second-most shocking suffered this preseason. QB Dan Orlovsky's carrer as a NFL player is over as he suffered a fractured vertebrae this preseason. Commissioner Godell is expected to issue a speech regarding this injury on Tuesday at 7pm. As for Orlovsky's family, friends, and fans, we wish him the best in recovering from this incident.

Other Notable Injuries
Four players suffered season-ending injuries in the preseason: QBs Donovan McNabb (Redskins) and David Carr (49ers), Center Andre Gurode (Cowboys), and Right Tackle William Beatty (Giants). The Cleveland Browns were one of the few fortunate teams to have no injuries in the preseason.

CLEVELAND BROWNS REPORT
The Browns season opener draws near with high hopes from the fans. Coach Mangini is preparing his players for a new season of football. They will face a tough opening game against the Minnesota Vikings with newly acquired Brett Favre and running back phenom Adrian Peterson. Look for a tough first game.
Browns Report Prediction: Vikings 28, Browns 17.
