October 15, 2014It’s such a shame that Armonty Bryant went down injured. The young defender was a valuable piece to the Browns defense and seemed to be growing as a player with each game. Unfortunately for him and the Browns he’s done for at least the rest of this season with torn ACL and MCL. Now, the Browns have reacted.
NEWS Browns have signed Sione Fua and have placed Armonty Bryant on injured reserve.

Sione Fua was a third round pick for the Carolina Panthers in 2011 but was most recently with the Denver Broncos. He’s not the same body type as Armonty Bryant at all at 310 pounds and a bit over six feet tall. Makes me wonder if this signing doesn’t have more to do with Phil Taylor and Ahtyba Rubin missing the last game than it does to do with Armonty Bryant going down.
We’ll see if Fua has anything to give to the Browns. According to my initial search of stats, it appears he hasn’t appeared in a regular season game this season and only five games in 2013 between Denver and Carolina.

Me too. The Browns have been absolutely gashed in the running game most of this season, so maybe they’re looking to move Rubin out of the NT spot, giving more time to Kitchen and Fua becomes Kitchen’s backup?
