Cleveland will be without their starting left tackle for the rest of the year. Ryan Tucker was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list with an undisclosed mental disorder.No one knows the exact nature of the disorder (nor should they, as that's an intensely private thing), but it must be pretty serious. I mean, Ray Lewis obviously has mental disorders, but he plays every week (I kid, I kid ... sometimes he sits out a week). Thankfully, Ryan Tucker doesn't share Terrell Owens' philosophy on self-medication. I'm pretty sure that Ryan Tucker doesn't have a live-in publicist to help explain it away.
Tucker missed two games earlier in the year, but returned to the lineup a couple of weeks ago. He did sit out the second half of last week's game against Cincinnati.
In all seriousness, I wish Ryan Tucker the best in fighting whatever it is that ails him, and I wish him a speedy and full recovery. Hang in there, big fella. I'm rooting for you.
