BEREA, Ohio ? Cleveland Browns starting offensive guard Eric Steinbach is out for the season with a back injury.
Steinbach underwent back surgery on Tuesday to repair a "disk issue." Cleveland coach Pat Shurmur said the surgery went well, but that the team will place Steinbach on injured reserve, ending his season.
Steinbach left practice two weeks ago when his back stiffened up. He had been getting treatments before opting to have surgery.
The 31-year-old hadn't missed a snap in two years, playing between Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas and Pro Bowl center Alex Mack. Steinbach's quickness allowed the Browns to use him on sweeps, and his blocks helped Peyton Hillis rush for nearly 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.
Steinbach has been with the Browns for four seasons. He signed with Cleveland in 2007 after spending four seasons in Cincinnati.
With Steinbach out, rookie Jason Pinkston is the most likely candidate to take over at guard, but Shurmur said the team will explore other possibilities.
