The Browns’ receiver situation got even worse Monday.

Rod Streater was ruled out for the rest of the season with a neck fracture. He was injured covering a punt early in the first quarter Sunday in the 38-14 loss to the Chargers.

Streater’s neck bent backward when his head hit teammate Denzel Rice in the midsection.

Streater, 30, was signed Sept. 17. He played in three games without a catch.




The team said he’s doing well, a full recovery is expected and surgery isn’t believed to be required.

His absence leaves the Browns with four healthy receivers: Jarvis Landry, rookies Antonio Callaway and Damion Ratley and Breshad Perriman, who was signed Saturday.

Rashard Higgins is expected to miss at least another game with a sprained knee.

The Browns also announced undrafted rookie receiver Derrick Willies had surgery Monday morning to repair a broken collarbone suffered Friday in practice. He was placed on injured reserve Saturday and is still a candidate to return before the end of the season.
