Trent Dilfer

5/5/2006

San Francisco acquired Dilfer on Thursday in a trade that sent Ken Dorsey and a 2007 seventh-round draft pick to Cleveland. Dilfer, who is recovering from offseason knee surgery, will back up starting quarterback Alex Smith. Dilfer went 4-7 with the Browns last season before losing his starting job to rookie Charlie Frye. He completed 59.8 percent of his passes in 2005 for 2,321 yards with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

2/7/2006

Dilfer had surgery on his right knee on Tuesday to repair a partial tear of a patella tendon. The Browns' quarterback was bothered with knee problems during the season, which caused him to miss the final five games.

12/7/2005

Dilfer's knees are probably healthy enough for him to play, but the Browns will stick with rookie Charlie Frye as their starting quarterback in Sunday's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to head coach Romeo Crennel. The veteran signal caller has seen his playing time cut over the past few weeks, and he was held out of last weekend's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars all together.

12/4/2005

Dilfer was limited in practice with the Cleveland Browns all week, due to soreness in both knees, especially the right. As a result, the quarterback will be absent from the starting lineup in Sunday's battle with the Jacksonville Jaguars, allowing rookie Charlie Frye to get the nod for the first time in his NFL career. Dilfer will be available for backup duty, if needed.

12/1/2005

After missing practice the previous day, Dilfer split snaps with rookie Charlie Frye in Thursday's workout. The veteran quarterback, who is bothered by soreness in both knees, continues to be listed as questionable on the Browns' injury report, and there is a good chance that he will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

11/28/2005

Dilfer missed some time in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings after injuring his right knee during the third quarter. The Browns' veteran quarterback left the stadium with the knee wrapped in ice, and he is scheduled to undergo some precautionary tests on Monday to rule out any serious damage. For now, he is considered as day-to-day.

11/27/2005

Dilfer will start for Cleveland in Minnesota Sunday, CBS is reporting. Browns head coach Romeo Crennel said earlier in the week that he would stick with Dilfer, and nothing changed over the course of another week of practices.

11/21/2005

According to Browns head coach Romeo Crennel, Dilfer will remain in the starting role for the foreseeable future, but the team plans to get rookie Charlie Frye some playing time going forward as well. The two quarterbacks split snaps in Sunday's matchup with the Miami Dolphins, with Frye making his NFL debut.

11/2/2005

Dilfer played a little better in last weekend's loss to the Houston Texans, but overall, his struggles continued. Despite the problems, Browns head coach Romeo Crennel has decided to stick with the veteran, announcing that he will be under center when the team takes the field against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Over his last three games (all Cleveland losses), Dilfer is 38 of 74 for 405 yards, four interceptions and only one touchdown. He's also lost three fumbles.

10/26/2005

Despite posting eight turnovers over the past three weeks and failing to lead the Browns' offense on a touchdown-scoring drive in the last two games, Dilfer will remain under center for Sunday's matchup with the Houston Texans, according to head coach Romeo Crennel. For the season, the veteran quarterback is 118 of 187 for 1,260 yards, six touchdowns and eight interceptions.

10/24/2005

Dilfer had his worst outing of the season in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Detroit Lions, posting a dismal 22.4 passer rating. The Browns' veteran quarterback finished the game 10 of 19 for 73 yards with three interceptions and no touchdowns. He was sacked four times as well, tying a season high.

9/19/2005

Dilfer recorded the second-most passing yards of his NFL career, going 21 of 32 for 336 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's two-point victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. One of the 33-year-old quarterback's TD passes went for 80 yards to rookie Braylon Edwards, while another spanned 62 yards to tight end Steve Heiden.
