NFL: Browns coach sorry about last-second injury


By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND � Following wide receiver Josh Cribbs� scary last-second injury, Browns coach Eric Mangini said he wishes he would have handled the final play of Monday night�s game differently.

Cribbs was taken to a hospital after he was flattened on a last, meaningless play in Baltimore�s 16-0 win over the Browns. Mangini called it a �competitive situation� and said Cribbs improvised on the pass play by lateraling the ball before being hit by Ravens defensive end Dwan Edwards.
Mangini said Cribbs did not sustain a concussion. He�s optimistic that his best playmaker will be available for Sunday�s game in Detroit.
Mangini would not say if he thought Edwards� hit was dirty.
