Browns P Reggie Hodges will undergo surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon. He'll be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Hodges was one of the top punters in the NFL last season, finishing eighth in net average (39.0). The Browns can't turn back to insurance policy Dave Zastudil because he suffered an oblique injury while working out for the Texans.
