In the minutes after a tight loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden made the rounds in the locker room to apologize to teammates for his four-game suspension. Haden was penalized by the league on Monday for testing positive for the prescription drug Adderall during a routine offseason test. He won't return to the field until Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. "It hurts him not to be out there," linebacker D'Qwell Jackson told The Plain Dealer. "Joe is one of the biggest competitors on this team and he practices hard and plays hard. He came up to a few of us and he apologized for what had happened. If he knew the outcome before the situation happened, he obviously wouldn't have done it. It's here and hopefully the suspension goes by pretty quick and those other guys can step up. But he's feeling bad about it." Source: NFL.com
I'm not positive Hawkins will blow up because the step down from CB 2 to 3 isn't as big, but Green is going to light them up without Haden to try to keep him in check.
