The Facts: Heiden was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with an injured ankle, ending his season with just one game left. Heiden limped off the field during Saturday's 41-0 home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and never returned after getting X-rays. The Browns did not release details about Heiden's ankle, which was injured earlier this season.

Diehards Line: Heiden started 13 games this season, catching 43 passes for 401 yards and three touchdowns. His 43 receptions, second on the team this season, are the most by a Browns tight end since Ozzie Newsome caught 62 passes in 1985. ... Aaron Shea will move into the starting lineup for the closer.
