Ben Tate suffers knee injury

The Cleveland Browns lost running back Ben Tate to a knee injury late in the second quarter of their season opener Sunday against the Steelers.

Tate's last carry was a 25-yard run with 6:30 left in the second quarter. He went to the sideline and did not return.

No details were provided on the nature or extent of the knee injury.

Fantasy Impact: 

Tate missed time with a rib injury in 2013, and missed his rookie season with a broken ankle so injuries are nothing new to Tate owners. Rookies Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell replaced Tate, and Crowell scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and looked good at times. In the game Tate looked pretty good with six carriers for 41 yards, including the 25-yarder. The Browns may have to rely more on the run as TE Jordan Cameron was also banged up in the game.

Browns think Ben Tate can be a three-down RB

Browns HC Mike Pettine said he's comfortable with RB Ben Tate playing on third down.

Fantasy Impact: 

Terrance West struggled in the preseason, as can be typical with young backs, so it seems to have paved the way for Tate. The big issues with Tate is staying healthy, but he showed flashes with Houston when given a chance. Another problem is the Browns lack of a passing game and issues at QB. Tate ranks 24th coming into the season which makes him a decent RB3 or flex option. He's also ranked 24th for Week 1 against the Steelers, who were actually only ranked 20th against the run last year.

The Browns will release tailback Chris Ogbonnaya, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A fifth-year pro, the 28-year-old Ogbonnaya has appeared in 42 regular season games since joining Cleveland in 2011, rushing for 604 yards on 130 carries (4.6 yards per rush) and catching 95 passes for 695 yards and two TDs (7.3 yards per catch). Ogbonnaya (6-0, 225) has played fullback and tailback and can contribute in the passing game, all of which could help him garner interest elsewhere.

Fantasy Impact: 

With Ogbonnaya and Dion Lewis set to be released, the Browns could be ready to keep rookie Isaiah Crowell as their third back behind Ben Tate and Terrance West.

Browns running back Dion Lewis battled back from a broken leg that cost him all of 2013 only to be let go by the Browns Saturday on final cut-down day, a league source told Cleveland.com.

It means that rookie running back Isaiah Crowell from Alabama State might be safe in the battle for the third or fourth running back spot behind Ben Tate and Terrance West.

The Browns also still have Chris Ogbonnaya on the roster, and he has the versatility to play fullback as well.
