Erving's Injury Could Create More Issues for Depleted Browns Offense

The Browns selected Erving 19th overall in the 2015 NFL draft. The former Florida State Seminoles star appeared in all 16 games last season, starting four.

He's had trouble snapping the ball this season. Against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1, he sent a shotgun snap over quarterback Robert Griffin III's head, forcing the signal-caller to kick it out of the end zone for a safety.

The team's unofficial depth chart does not list a backup behind Erving, which could cause some major shuffling along Cleveland's offensive line.

With Josh McCown dealing with a shoulder injury while Griffin recovers, a depleted offensive line could make the Browns' early-season woes even worse.
