"The Browns will pay injured defensive end Marcus Benard the rest of his 2011 salary despite the fact they're entitled to withhold it, a league source told The Plain Dealer today.

Benard has been placed on the reserve/nonfootball injury list for the rest of the season with a broken hand, suffered in his motorcycle accident Monday.

He will receive the remaining $370,000 he's still owed from his $525,000 contract."
