Cleveland Browns linebacker Eric Barton injured his right shoulder late in the second quarter Sunday against the Chicago Bears and was questionable to return. Barton was injured tackling Chicago's Greg Olsen on a 12-yard pass that put the ball on the Browns 14 and stayed down for a few minutes before walking off the field. The Bears' Matt Forte capped that drive with a 1-yard touchdown run that made it 16-0 with just under two minutes left in the half. The Bears, meanwhile, lost special teams player Craig Steltz to an arm injury on a punt early in the third quarter. It was not clear which arm he injured.
