Saturday's news likely means that Scott will be added to the practice squad in the coming days. Cleveland listed rookie interior offensive lineman Austin Corbett as out for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Starting center JC Tretter was listed as questionable. It is entirely possible that neither is able to play against the Texans, which renders Kalis' presence necessary.

The team is left with starting left guard Joel Bitonio and starting right guard Kevin Zeitler. Veteran offensive guard Earl Watford is the lone reserve.

Tretter has been battling through injuries for more than a month but he has been able to play each week despite being limited in practice.

“It has been a battle every week. Some weeks have been better than others. It is one of those things that you know that when you play on it, it is going to get worse. We have done a good job of kind of limiting the amount of exposure that I have for setbacks. You have to give a lot of credit to the training staff here, getting me as close to 100 percent as I can be every Sunday. It has taken a lot of work. It will probably be an issue here for a few more weeks, but we will just keep working through it," he explained Monday.

"I always go into a season with the goal of playing in all 16 games and playing every snap. That is something that I take a lot of pride in. The interior three here has a run going for the last year and 11 games for us. None of us have missed a snap yet so that is something that we all take pride in having that constant three the same interior, knock on wood. That is just something that we have always focused on. That is the goal that I think we all have so that has been a big part of it.”

The center spent the off-season re-shaping his body to prepare for this season. He has been happy with the results.

“I have been happy with how I have played, especially with the ankle. It sometimes gets a little frustrating because there are things that you can’t do that you are used to doing. Luckily, I have been able to kind of figure out ways around those things. That is a tough question to ask. I think that I have played well this year. I think there is always room for improvement. I think that is something, especially with offensive linemen, we rarely get caught too much on the good parts and we usually always focus on the things that we can get better. I am always thinking about what I can do to improve my play and take my play to another level.”

Cleveland travels to Houston for this weekend's game against the Texans. Tretter is a game time decision.
