Carlton Mitchell

So much for rookie Browns receiver Greg Little easing his way into football shape and knocking the rust off after sitting out all last season.

Little, Cleveland's second-round pick, was thrust into the starting lineup on Sunday's second day of camp because of injuries to receivers Mohamed Massaquoi (foot) and Josh Cribbs, who went down early in practice with a possible leg muscle strain and didn't return. Carlton Mitchell also left practice early with a shoulder injury.

Little, who had been operating as the third or fourth wideout, was suddenly starting opposite Brian Robiskie in two-receiver sets - and looking solid in drills.

Little is worth considering in the later rounds if he wins a starting job. Colt McCoy needs a number one receiver, and Little has more potential than anyone else on the Cleveland roster.
