Offensive line coach Andy Moeller is suspended by Cleveland Browns

Just as the Cleveland Browns began preparing for their season opener, offensive line coach Andy Moeller was suspended by the team for an unspecified incident over the weekend.

Moeller, who is in his second season with Cleveland following six in Baltimore, has a history of alcohol-related cases. He was suspended two games by the NFL and fined $47,000 in 2011 following a drunken driving conviction.

Moeller was at the team’s facility for the walk-through Monday morning. As the team wrapped up practice, the Browns released a statement on Moeller’s suspension that described a weekend “incident involving allegations that we take very seriously. . . . We are going to respect the process of investigation on this personal matter and will have no further comment at this time.”

The team did not provide any other details. Coach Mike Pettine said assistant line coach George DeLeone will take over the offensive line in Moeller’s absence.

Smith moves on

Geno Smith said he has moved on from the punch that rocked the franchise and might have cost him his starting job. The New York Jets quarterback has no plans to file charges against former teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali, the linebacker who broke Smith’s jaw when he slugged him in the locker room last month.

Smith, expected to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, would not address whether Enemkpali, who is now with Buffalo, had apologized to him. Smith also wouldn’t say if he reimbursed the $600 Enemkpali paid for the quarterback to appear at a youth camp in Texas — Smith later canceled because of the death of a friend — that is believed to be at the root of the dispute that came to a head on Aug. 11.

“I really don’t want to talk much about the incident,” Smith said Monday while meeting with reporters for the first time since he was punched. “I’ve put it behind me.” He avoided clearing up any details of what happened that day and why it went so far. “I think some things will be clarified once the [NFL’s] investigation is completed,” Smith said.

Pierre-Paul back

Two months after injuring his right hand in a July 4 fireworks accident, two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is expected to report to the New York Giants. Although Pierre-Paul missed all of training camp, Coach Tom Coughlin would not rule him out for the season opener in Dallas on Sunday night — provided team doctors, who have yet to examine his hand, declared him fit to play. Because he had not signed his contract after the team tagged him as a franchise player, Pierre-Paul refused to let the Giants examine his hand.

Etc.

Ryan Kalil, Carolina’s four-time Pro Bowl center from USC, is still recovering from a left knee sprain but ran at practice, and Coach Ron Rivera expressed optimism that he might play in Sunday’s opener against Jacksonville. Starting defensive tackle Star Lotulelei, who missed the entire preseason with a stress reaction in his surgically repaired right foot, appears less likely to play. . . . Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dontari Poe returned has returned to practice with Kansas City after missing all of training camp following back surgery, and Coach Andy Reid said that depending on how he fares when pads go on Wednesday, Poe could play in Sunday’s season opener in Houston. Offensive lineman Eric Fisher also is back after missing most of training camp with a sprained ankle, and Reid said the former No. 1 overall pick would move from left tackle to right tackle against the Texans. . . . Cleveland backup quarterback Johnny Manziel threw passes in practice for the first time since Aug. 23, when a sore right elbow sent him to the sideline and kept him out of the Browns’ final two exhibitions. . . . Oakland claimed defensive end Lavar Edwards off waivers from Dallas and placed cornerback Chimdi Chekwa on injured. . . . Atlanta released center Joe Hawley, who started 23 games in five seasons with the team but has been slowed after knee surgery, and added center Gino Gradkowski, who was waived by Baltimore.
