"The beat goes on for Browns running back Peyton Hillis. He will miss practice today with a sore hamstring after he had limited work in Wednesday's practice.

Coach Pat Shurmur said he was still hopeful Hillis would be active Sunday in San Francisco against the 49ers.

On Wednesday, Hillis talked of the "humbling" season he has endured and said there was still time for him to make something of it.

"I talked to him this morning. I think he's hanging in there, taking this thing day to day, trying to get healthy. I don't sense frustration," Shurmur said."
