    When linebacker Chris Gocong was writhing in agony on the practice field, the Cleveland Browns were concerned.

    Hours later, the Browns found out it was worse than they thought. Gocong is likely out for the season after injuring his right Achilles tendon.

    "It's an Achilles for Gocong, so he'll have surgery," coach Pat Shurmur said before a Saturday afternoon walk-through. "There's no point in trying to conceal anything. It's an Achilles."

    A Browns spokesman said Gocong could have the surgery as soon as Monday and that surgeons will determine the severity of the injury at that time.
