CLEVELAND >> Shawn Lauvao’s consecutive games streak is about to end, and so is Cleveland’s run of healthy starting offensive lineman.

The Browns right guard, a Farrington graduate, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle on Friday and will not be ready for the Sept. 8 opener against Miami, the first game Lauvao has missed in three seasons.

Lauvao, who started all 16 games in each of the past two years, injured his ankle during practice earlier this week. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Lauvao did not break a bone in his ankle and would not provide any other specifics about the injury or how long the fourth-year player will be sidelined.

"He’ll miss some time early in the regular season," Chudzinski said. "I don’t have any definitive dates and times on that. We’ll just have to see how that goes from the results of the scope and how he’ll progress over the next few weeks."

Jason Pinkston started for Lauvao in Thursday night’s exhibition opener against St. Louis and will likely slide into the starting lineup for the opener against the Dolphins.

Lauvao was one of four Browns offensive linemen, along with Joe Thomas, Alex Mack and Mitchell Schwartz, who did not miss a snap last season.
