BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Browns Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers is done for the season with a lower leg injury.

Coach Eric Mangini says Rogers will need surgery and be placed on injured reserve. The 6-foot-4, 350-pound Rogers was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 16-7 loss in Cincinnati. Mangini did not specify the nature of Rogers' injury, one of four sustained by Cleveland defenders against the Bengals.

Rogers' leg was struck by teammate C.J. Mosley on a running play with 3:39 left.

Rogers is the team's third starting defensive player to go on IR. The Browns previously lost starting inside linebackers D'QwelJackson and Eric Barton to season-ending injuries.
