Browns face Steelers with Pruitt back but Bolton out
Browns coach Sam Rutigliano outlined a mixed injury outlook ahead of the critical AFC Central clash with Pittsburgh. Greg Pruitt returns after a calf injury and will play some, though not full time at first, while Ron Bolton is expected to miss a month to six weeks with a broken forearm. Oliver Davis may return, otherwise rookie Tomlin would start at right cornerback, a rookie task he would likely handle if needed.

Buckley aims for comeback with Regional Champions Classic bid
Roy Buckley of Columbus, nicknamed Mr. Consistency, seeks a tour return after health scares and a near-miss season. At 35 he plans a fresh start at the $42,500 Rochester Regional Champions Classic, following a collapsed lung in 1976 and a low 1977 showing. Elmore Smith of the Cavaliers undergoes knee evaluation and is placed on the injured list, with arthritic symptoms likely sidelining him for up to three weeks and causing absence from the first five games.
