The Madden NFL 12 roster update for week 9 is set to come out on Friday for Xbox 360 and PS3 users. For the Cleveland Browns, coming off a loss to the San Francisco 49ers, not much is changing in regards to ratings updates. They only have two changes in player ratings this time around, one increase and one decrease.
This is probably because the 49ers are recognized as a better team and Cleveland kept the game close and competitive. San Francisco actually looked pretty bad during the second half of the game and the Browns fell just short of making a comeback. Go ahead and make the jump for the list of Browns changes.
Increases
WR Josh Cribbs 78 to 79
Decreases
DL Jabaal Sheard 80 to 79
Changes
HB Montario Hardesty lowered on depth chart
HB Xavier Omon released
HB Thomas Clayton signed
WR Brian Robiskie released
OL Oniel Cousins now ears #72
HB Chris Ogbonnaya moved to HB #2 on depth chart
WR Carlton Mitchell moved to WR #4 on depth chart
They're pretty minor changes, but any time a player moves into a different group of ten, I consider it significant. Sheard started off the season very well but slowed down and was handled well by the 49ers, so he dropped a point and fell to 79. Cribbs got an increase after being worked into the offense more. All-in-all, a pretty quiet update in regards to the
