BEREA, Ohio — Browns starting linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. had arthroscopic knee surgery, knocking him out of Sunday's game at Houston and putting his playing status in question as Cleveland aims for a playoff berth. The team said Walker had the procedure on Thursday. He'll be evaluated on a weekly basis going forward. The Browns have three regular-season games remaining. Walker missed last week's win over Chicago, just days after he tweaked his knee in practice. Walker usually handles play calls for the NFL's top-ranked defense. He's recorded 44 tackles and recovered two fumbles in 12 games. All-Pro left guard Joel Bitonio is questionable with a back issue. He was forced to leave last week's game in the first quarter.
