Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur will be without his top two running backs when his new team hosts his former team on Sunday as Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty are not expected to play against the St. Louis Rams, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports.
Hillis aggravated his left hamstring injury during last Friday's practice and missed a third straight game on Sunday. Hardesty had replaced Hillis in the starting lineup but suffered a calf injury against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8.
With Hillis and Hardesty on the sidelines, Chris Ogbonnaya has been the primary running back, gaining 80 yards on 27 carries the last three games. Thomas Clayton was signed last week and had 10 yards on five carries against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
