Pruitt to benefit from Poole return for Browns
Cleveland Browns coach Forrest Gregg welcomed back Larry Poole as the rookie running back recovered from a leg injury. Poole's return should boost a struggling offense as Bobby Pruitt, the star runner, seeks more help after a yardage drought and a 237 loss to Washington. Gregg praised Poole's speed and said he would not overwork him in his first game back.
