BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis is missing his second straight day of practice to rest sore ribs.

Hillis was injured in Sunday’s loss to Baltimore when Ravens safety Ed Reed drilled him on his second carry. Hillis, who has rushed for 1,164 yards this season, also sat out Monday’s outdoor workout. Browns coach Eric Mangini believes Hillis will be ready to play this week against Pittsburgh in the season finale.

The Steelers have the NFL’s best rushing defense and the Browns (5-10) need him to play.

If Hillis can’t go, Mike Bell will get the bulk of carries. Bell, acquired in an October trade from Philadelphia, gained a season-high 27 yards last week.
