BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns third straight loss included a damaging injury. Timo Meier Sharks Jersey . Speedy return specialist Travis Benjamin, one of Clevelands top playmakers and one of the NFLs best punt returners, tore his anterior cruciate knee ligament in Sundays loss at Kansas City and will miss the remainder of the season. Benjamin needs surgery, which has not yet been scheduled. "Its a tough loss for us," Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Monday, "but well have some guys step up." Benjamin is the second key Browns player to have his season ended by a torn ACL. Starting quarterback Brian Hoyer tore his right ACL while sliding at the end of a scramble on Oct. 3 against Buffalo, a game Benjamin turned around by returning a punt 79 yards for a touchdown and racking up a team record 179 yards in returns as Cleveland rallied for a 37-24 win. Chudzinski said Benjamin twisted his knee while planting on a return with 2:34 left in the third quarter. The Browns (3-5) have already felt Benjamins loss. With the second-year wide receiver on the sideline, Davone Bess took over return duties but fumbled while trying to catch a punt on the run in the fourth quarter. The muff was recovered by the Chiefs, who held on to remain unbeaten. "I had it," said Bess, who also mishandled three passes, including one on fourth down with 2:12 left. "When I got my eyes up to see where the defenders were, they were there and I must not have had it 100 per cent. Its just discipline. Ive got to look the ball all the way in and it starts in practice. " Benjamin, who was drafted in the fourth round last year from Miami, has been a major contributor for the Browns. Hes averaged 11.7 yard per punt return -- sixth in the league -- and his 86-yard kickoff return set up a TD for Cleveland on Oct. 20 against Green Bay. He also had five catches for 105 yards and rushed for 45 yards on an end-around. Chudzinski said Bess will continue to handle punt returns. Starting cornerback Joe Haden is another option, but Chudzinski would prefer not to use one of his best defensive players. "Its unfortunate with his injury, but Ive got to step up," Bess said. "Thats as simple as it gets. Theres nothing to talk about, to be down about. Its just to go out and get it." Melker Karlsson Jersey . The move will give Hentgen the "time needed to support his family and his fathers current health issues," the Blue Jays said in a release.

According to a report from ESPN, the veteran safety has signed another one-year deal with the team Raiders, the team that drafted him, and who he returned to last year after a long stint with the Green Bay Packers.BASEL, Switzerland - Top-seeded Roger Federer won a sixth Swiss Indoors title on Sunday, comfortably defeating David Goffin of Belgium in straight sets to end a run of two successive final defeats at his hometown tournament.Federer took just 52 minutes to win 6-2, 6-2, delighting the partisan crowd as he inflicted what was only Goffins third defeat in 46 matches.I didnt expect this kind of result but clearly Ill take it, its great, Federer said. Its indoors tennis, sometimes you just blow a guy out of the court and Im happy it was me today doing that.The first set lasted 23 minutes as Federer dropped just one point in the final three games.The second-ranked Federer also moved a step closer to clinching the year-end No. 1 spot for a record-equaling sixth time as he moved to less than 500 points behind Novak Djokovic, with his fifth victory of the season.Im very pleased how well Im playing, Federer said. It was a great final, I think I played really well. Im full of confidence now.I was expecting it to be tough and him taking charge at times but I think I was really able to control the match with my serve and then with my variation on the return. I think I did really well, I was fresh today, it was again a fifth day of tennis for me in a row and Im happy Im able to keep it up time and time again, week after week.Goffin had been in remarkable form since his straight-sets defeat to Andy Murray at Wimbledon but knew it would be a tough task against a player who —as he revealed on Saturday — is still his idol.It was a tough match of course, against Roger in his hometown, said Goffin, who admitted he felt the pressure of it all in the buildup. He is in great shape and he played so good today. It was too tough for me today. I made a lot oof mistakes, I didnt serve very well. Logan Couture Sharks Jersey. But at the end its a good week for me and Ill try to do better next time.Federer was in front from the start as he broke Goffins serve in the very first game, securing the advantage when the Belgian hit a backhand wide.The Swiss star followed that up with a winning serve and a 200 kph (125 mph) ace as he took complete control.He serves just perfect, Goffin said. You cannot read where its going and its not easy to return, thats why it was a nightmare for me today.Goffin fought to get back in the match but Federer was simply too strong and a delightful crosscourt forehand handed him three break points, the second of which left him serving for the set when Goffin sliced into the net.Federer quickly sealed the advantage with the third of four successive love service games, ending the set with an ace followed by an unreturnable serve.Goffin opened the second set in the same way as the first, with a double fault. However, he was now being encouraged by the crowd — uneasy at the one-sided contest — and managed to hold his serve.The 23-year-old Goffin saved one break point in the fifth game but hit a backhand into the net after a long rally to hand Federer another advantage.And the 33-year-old Federer swiftly secured another double break to leave him serving for the match. A desperate Goffin challenged the call but replays showed Federers return had landed on the baseline.The final point was delayed slightly by thunderous applause after Federer racked up two match points. He needed just one as he delicately placed a shot over the net, which Goffin managed to get to but couldnt return.Federer lost the 2012 and 2013 Swiss Indoors finals to Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina.
