Browns HC Mike Pettine told reporters on Thursday that they will likely have some discussions about potentially placing CB Joe Haden and WR Andrew Hawkins — who are dealing with concussions — on season-ending injured reserve, per Tom Withers.
Haden last appeared in a game back in Week 8 while Hawkins has been out since he suffered a second concussion in span of three weeks.
Haden, 26, is in the second year of his six-year, $74.678 million contract that included $45 million guaranteed. He stands to make $8.3 million in 2015 to go along with base salaries of $10.1 million (2016), $11.1 million (2017), $11.1 million (2018) and $10.4 million (2019) over the remainder of the agreement.
This season, Haden has appeared in eight games and recorded 22 tackles, a fumble recovery and two pass defenses for the Browns.
Hawkins, 29, is in the second year of his four-year, $13.6 million contract that included $4 million guaranteed. He’ll make a base salary of $2.3 million this season to go along with $2.5 million in 2016 and: $2.6 million in 2017.
On the season, Hawkins has appeared in eight games and caught 27 passes for 276 yards receiving and no touchdowns for the Browns.
