Eric Wright Injury Video: Cleveland Browns Rookie CB Joe Haden Is Up Now

At Cleveland Browns training camp this morning things seemed to be going like any other morning practice. However, one player was seen on the sidelines getting worked on by Browns trainers, who were stretching him out.

Starting cornerback Eric Wright was that player and he was visibly holding the back of his right thigh even after getting stretched out multiple times from trainers.

Wright left the practice fields approximately 45 minutes before practice was even scheduled to end and he was fighting through the pain during drills.

This is a huge blow to the Browns secondary, which was supposed to be a major focus of improvement this offseason. Luckily, the Browns drafted the top-rated corner in the 2010 NFL Draft in Joe Haden.

Haden stepped into the first team defense immediately and was playing opposite of veteran starter Sheldon Brown.

Since Haden was the No. 3 corner and came in during nickel coverages, backup Mike Adams assumed the No. 3 spot since Brandon McDonald had the day off and was not in pads this morning.

The Browns' $50 million rookie corner will now see a ton of reps since he will be filling in and there is a good chance that he could be the starter this Saturday night for the Browns' first preseason game versus Green Bay.

Hopefully Haden is ready since the Browns did not want to thrust him into the starting lineup this season to slowly groom him into a starter quite possibly for 2011.

Back in 2007, when he was with the New York Jets. Head Coach Eric Mangini drafted Darrelle Revis and had him start immediately, but he also said he wanted to take a different approach with Haden this season.

That plan may not stick depending on how serious Wright's injury is, but now it is time for Haden to show that he is worth both the big contract and the high draft pick that was used on him too.
