Cleveland Browns

8/15/2006

Lee Suggs, cle

Suggs failed a physical with the New York Jets on Tuesday after being traded by the Cleveland Browns for cornerback Derrick Strait on Monday. "We have a whole series of tests that we do, and we were very thorough with the process," Jets coach Eric Mangini said. "He just didn't pass those tests. ... Each team has a criteria they set up that they believe is what's important and what's needed to be competitive. I'm very comfortable with the tests we have set up."

8/14/2006

Lee Suggs, cle

The New York Jets acquired Suggs Monday in a trade with the Cleveland Browns for defensive back Derrick Strait. Suggs is coming off three injury plagued seasons with the Browns who selected him in the 2003 NFL draft. Shoulder, neck, toe, ankle and thumb injuries had sidelined him for several games in each of his first three pro seasons. He had 1,048 career rushing yards and four touchdowns in 25 games with the Browns.

8/11/2006

Bob Hallen, cle

Hallen, who was being counted on by the Cleveland Browns to replace the injured LeCharles Bentley at center, informed the club Friday that he has retired. Hallen, who left the team earlier this week, sent a letter to the Browns saying he was done with pro football. He did not give a reason for his decision.

7/30/2006

Braylon Edwards, cle

Edwards, who underwent knee surgery in January and wasn't expected to be ready to play in games until October, unexpectedly returned to practice for the first time with the Browns on Saturday. Edwards tore the anterior cruciate ligament while trying to make a leaping catch against Jacksonville on Dec. 4, ending his rookie season and requiring him to undergo surgery on Jan. 3.

7/27/2006

LeCharles Bentley, cle

Bentley suffered a season-ending injury to his left knee on Thursday and will undergo surgery as early as Friday. The Browns two-time Pro Bowl center tore his patellar tendon on the first 11-on-11 drill of training camp Thursday. "He was the face of our free-agent class," Cleveland general manager Phil Savage said. "We feel terrible for LeCharles, but life goes on."

7/22/2006

Kamerion Wimbley, cle

Wimbley, the 13th overall draft pick, signed a six-year, $23.7 million deal with the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Wimbley's agent Joe Linta said the deal includes $9.3 million in guaranteed money and is a 9.5 percent increase over what the 13th pick received last year. "It shows the fans and the team I'm ready to be a Brown," Wimbley said.

7/19/2006

DeMario Minter, cle

The Browns signed Minter to a four-year contract Wednesday.

Babatunde Oshinowo, cle

The Browns signed Oshinowo to a four-year contract Wednesday.

6/16/2006

Kellen Winslow, cle

Winslow returned to the football field for the first time in almost two years Friday. The Cleveland Browns tight end had been out since a May 1, 2005 motorcycle accident ended his 2005 pro season before it began. The 2004 first round NFL Draft pick also missed most of his rookie season after breaking his right leg that September, requiring two surgeries.

5/5/2006

Ken Dorsey, cle

Cleveland acquired Dorsey on Thursday along with a 2007 seventh-round draft pick in a trade that sent Trent Dilfer to San Francisco. Dorsey started 10 games over the last two seasons for the 49ers, including three in 2005. The 25-year-old quarterback has completed 54.1 percent of his passes for eight touchdowns and 11 interceptions during his career.

4/5/2006

Simon Fraser, cle

The Browns signed Fraser to a one-year contract on Wednesday. The defensive lineman appeared in all 16 games last season for the Browns, mostly on special teams. He had one tackle as a backup defensive end. The 23-year-old signed with Cleveland last year after going undrafted out of Ohio State.

3/15/2006

Willie McGinest, cle

McGinest signed a three-year contract worth $12 million with the Cleveland Browns, which reunites him with head coach Romeo Crennel. The 12-year veteran won three Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, where Crennel spent four years as the defensive coordinator. The 34-year-old linebacker gives the Browns a pass rush presence that they lacked in 2005.

3/12/2006

Joe Jurevicius, cle

Jurevicius is coming home, signing a four-year contract worth $10 million with the Cleveland Browns. Jurevicius grew up in the Cleveland area before attending Penn State. The 31-year-old wide receiver enters his eighth season and will play for his fourth NFL team.

3/9/2006

Willie McGinest, cle

McGinest was released by the Patriots in a salary cap move that saves the team more than $7 million for next season.

3/7/2006

Jeff Chandler, cle

Chander, a kicker, reportedly signed a one-year contract Tuesday with the Cleveland Browns.

3/3/2006

Reuben Droughns, cle

Droughns, who last season became the first Cleveland back to go over 1,000 yards since 1985, signed a three-year contract extension Friday. The 27-year-old lobbied the Browns for a long-term deal and general manager Phil Savage said he earned it with his performance last season. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

1/8/2006

Willie McGinest, cle

McGinest set NFL postseason records with 4 1/2 sacks and 16 for his career in the Patriots' 28-3 Wild Card win over the Jaguars Saturday. The Patriots' linebacker surpassed the record for postseason sacks previously held by Bruce Smith.

1/3/2006

Braylon Edwards, cle

Edwards, who has been sidelined since coming down awkwardly while attempting to make a leaping catch in a Dec. 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The Browns' rookie receiver will be sidelined indefinitely as he recovers from the procedure. There is no guarantee that he will be ready for the start of training camp next summer.

12/27/2005

Steve Heiden, cle

Heiden was in the Browns' lineup for Saturday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but was unable to return after aggravating the ankle problem he's been battling for several weeks. The ailment is severe enough to force him to miss this weekend's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, promting the team to place him on injured reserve. Aaron Shea will take over as Cleveland's starter.

Charlie Frye, cle

Frye reported feeling fine when he showed up at the Browns' practice facilities on Monday, and he plans to be under center when the team takes the field against the Baltimore Ravens this weekend. The rookie quarterback, who was sacked eight times in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, suffered a concussion when he took a hit in the fourth quarter, but was able to remain in the lineup and finish the game.

12/22/2005

Charlie Frye, cle

Despite some lingering soreness in his knee, as well as bruised ribs, Frye was able to make it through Wednesday's practice without any problems, and he plans to be under center when the Browns take the field against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. The quarterback officially has been listed as probable.

12/21/2005

Steve Heiden, cle

Despite playing on a sore ankle the past couple of weeks, Heiden has yet to miss any game action. The Browns' tight end still is not back to 100 percent, but he was able to work out with the team on Wednesday and plans to be in the starting lineup for Saturday's meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

12/16/2005

Steve Heiden, cle

Heiden has been limited in practice all week, due to soreness in his ankle. Reportedly, the Browns will wait until the tight end tests things out prior to Sunday's meeting with the Oakland Raiders to determine if he'll be able to play. Officially, he has been listed as questionable.

Jason Wright, cle

Wright has been waived by the Cleveland Browns, opening a spot on the roster for tight end Paul Irons, who was promoted from the practice squad on Friday. The running back appeared in just three games this season, rushing for 27 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, while also adding three catches for 15 yards.

Paul Irons, cle

The Cleveland Browns have promoted Irons from their practice squad, filling the roster spot of running back Jason Wright, who was waived on Friday. The rookie tight end will supply the team with some insurance at the position should Steve Heiden (ankle) and/or Aaron Shea (calf) be unable to go this weekend.

12/15/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

The strained knee that limited Droughn's practice time last week did not prevent him from handling the bulk of the Browns' rushing load in a loss to the Bengals, as he finished with 74 yards on 21 carries. The running back is feeling even better this week, making it through Wednesday's full workout without any problems. Brown is listed as probable on the injury report, and the Browns fully expect him to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the Raiders.

Andra Davis, cle

Davis has re-signed with the Cleveland Browns, agreeing to a five-year contract extension. The linebacker, who inked a one-year deal prior to the start of this season, now is locked up through the 2010 campaign. He was a fifth-round pick in the 2002 NFL Draft.

Charlie Frye, cle

Frye was able to shake off the minor knee injury he suffered last weekend, and he took the majority of the snaps with the Browns' first-team offense at Wednesday's practice. Barring any last-minute setbacks, the rookie quarterback, who as a third-round pick in this year's draft, will be under center when the team takes the field against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

12/14/2005

Joe Jurevicius, cle

Sidelined since Week 4, Darrell Jackson is slated to return to the Seahawks' starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Tennessee Titans, according to head coach Mike Holmgren. As a result, Jurevicius will drop to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, but the team still plans to keep the veteran receiver heavily involved in the offensive attack.

12/13/2005

Ross Tucker, cle

Tucker has signed with the New England Patriots, filling the roster spot of running back Michael Cloud, who was released on Tuesday. The offensive lineman spent training camp with the Buffalo Bills, but was cut just prior to the start of the regular season and has been a free agent since.

12/9/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

Droughns returned to practice Thursday after sitting out the previous day with a sore knee. The running back is expected to play Sunday when Cleveland takes on Cincinnati.

12/8/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

Coming off a season high-tying 30 carries in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Droughns did not practice with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, due to a strained knee. However, according to head coach Romeo Crennel, the injury is considered minor at this point, and the running back is expected to be in the lineup for this weekend's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.

12/7/2005

Ethan Kelley, cle

Kelley has decided to undergo surgery to repair the cartilage damage in his left knee. As a result, the nose tackle, who suffered the injury at Minnesota on Nov. 27, will be placed on injured reserve by the Cleveland Browns, ending his 2005 campaign. J'Vonne Parker was promoted from the practice squad to fill the void on the roster.

Charlie Frye, cle

According to Browns head coach Romeo Crennel, Frye will be under center when the team takes the field against the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday, making his second consecutive start. With veteran Trent Dilfer hobbled by knee problems, the rookie quarterback got the nod against the Jacksonville Jaguars last weekend, going 13 of 20 for 226 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

J'Vonne Parker, cle

The Cleveland Browns have promoted Parker from their practice squad, filling the roster spot of nose tackle Ethan Kelley, who will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

12/6/2005

Pete Hunter, cle

Hunter has signed with the Cleveland Browns, filling the roster spot of rookie receiver Braylon Edwards, who will miss the rest of the 2005 campaign with a torn ACL in his right knee. The New York Jets acquired the cornerback from the Dallas Cowboys this past summer, but released him prior to the start of the regular season. A torn knee ligament limited Hunter to just three games in 2004.

12/5/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

Droughns tied a season high with 30 carries in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, finishing the contest with 88 yards on the ground. With the outing, the running back became the first Browns player to top 1,000 yards rushing since 1985 when Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner both topped the plateau.

Braylon Edwards, cle

Tests on Edwards' right knee have revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and the receiver will be forced to undergo surgery in the near future, ending his 2005 campaign. The Browns' rookie, who was the third overall pick in this year's draft, had to be carted to the locker room after coming down awkwardly while attempting to make a leaping catch in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Charlie Frye, cle

Making his first career start, Frye posted an impressive 136.7 passer rating in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Browns' rookie quarterback, filling in for the injured Trent Dilfer, finished 13 of 20 for 226 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

12/4/2005

William Green, cle

As anticipated, Green will be active and available for Sunday's meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The running back has not played since spraining his ankle in Week 8, missing the Browns' last four games. Prior to the injury, Green had 78 yards on 20 carries in seven games.

Charlie Frye, cle

Frye got the majority of the snaps with the Browns' first-team offense last week, and he will be under center for Sunday's matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, making the first start of his NFL career. The rookie quarterback takes over for injured veteran Trent Dilfer, who is nursing soreness in both knees, but will be available for backup duty, if needed.

12/2/2005

Joe Jurevicius, cle

Jurevicius attended the Seahawks' practice on Thursday, but he did not take part in the team's workouts, due to illness. As a result, the veteran receiver has been added to the injury report (probable). However, he expects to be recovered in time to start Monday night's battle with the Philadelphia Eagles.

12/1/2005

William Green, cle

Green has not played since spraining his ankle in Week 8, missing the Browns' last four games. However, the running back returned to practice with the team on Wednesday and is planning to be available for Sunday's meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Officially, he is listed as probable.

Charlie Frye, cle

With Trent Dilfer unable to practice because of a knee injury, Frye took all the snaps with the Browns' first-team offense on Wednesday. The rookie quarterback, who was a third-round pick in this year's draft, would get his first career start in Sunday's meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars if Dilfer can't take the field. A final decision likely won't be made until Friday at the earliest.

11/29/2005

Ken Dorsey, cle

Dorsey will drop down to No. 2 on the 49ers' depth chart, as the team will hand the starting quarterback job back to No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, Alex Smith. Dorsey has handled the signal-calling duties for San Francisco in three games this season, going 48 of 90 for 481 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

11/28/2005

Joe Jurevicius, cle

With Darrell Jackson out of action for the seventh consecutive game, Jurevicius got another start in Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants. The Seahawks' receiver took full advantage of the opportunity, finishing the overtime victory with eight catches for a career-high tying 137 yards and two touchdowns.

Ryan Pontbriand, cle

Pontbriand will miss the rest of the season after being placed on injured reserve by the Cleveland Browns. The center, who served primarily as the team's long snapper, suffered a back injury in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He will be replaced on the roster by Jody Littleton.

11/21/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

Droughns topped the century mark for the third time this year -- all coming within the last five games -- rushing for a season-high 166 yards on 30 carries in Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins. The running back got off to a good start, rumbling 75 yards for a touchdown on the Browns' first offensive play of the game.

Charlie Frye, cle

Frye made his NFL debut in Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins, going 6 of 11 for 58 yards, one interception and no touchdowns. Reportedly, the rookie quarterback, who was a third-round pick in this year's draft, will continue to see some time in the Browns' upcoming games, although veteran Trent Dilfer will remain in the starting role.

11/18/2005

Lee Suggs, cle

Suggs, who has been sidelined since late September with a broken right thumb, has been practicing without limitations this week, and he's expected to return to action in Sunday's matchup with the Miami Dolphins. The running back currently is not listed on the Browns' injury report.

11/16/2005

Ken Dorsey, cle

After being limited for the last couple of weeks by a sprained ankle, Dorsey will be back under center when the San Francisco 49ers take the field against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. With regular starter Alex Smith still recovering from a knee injury and Cody Pickett struggling in the top role, the team has decided to give Dorsey the nod for the second time this season.

11/10/2005

William Green, cle

Green continues to be sidelined by a sprained ankle, and he is expected to miss his second consecutive game. The Browns have listed the running back as doubtful for Sunday's tussle with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In seven games this season, Green has 78 yards on 20 carries and five catches for 30 yards.

Lee Suggs, cle

Suggs returned to practice with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, but he has yet to be cleared for game action, as head coach Romeo Crennel would like to see him get back more strength in his hand. The running back, who has been sidelined for more than a month with a broken right thumb, is listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's likely that he will be a game-time decision.

Ken Dorsey, cle

Dorsey's sprained ankle still is not 100 percent, according to 49ers head coach Mike Nolan, but he should be available for backup duty in Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears. With regular starter Alex Smith expected to miss his third consecutive game with a strained knee, Cody Pickett will get the nod this weekend.

11/7/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

Playing through painful leg cramps caused by dehydration, Droughns had his best game of the 2005 campaign in Sunday's 20-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Browns' running back rushed for a season-high 116 yards on 20 carries and added four receptions for 73 yards, including a crucial 51-yard gain on a third-down play late in the contest.

11/4/2005

William Green, cle

As anticipated, Green officially has been ruled out of Sunday's matchup with the Tennessee Titans, due to the sprained ankle that has prevented him from practicing with the Browns this week. The running back, who has a protective boot on his foot, was downgraded on Friday.

11/3/2005

Ken Dorsey, cle

Dorsey won't be in the 49ers' starting lineup this weekend, but his sprained ankle has shown enough improvement over the past couple of days that he is optimistic that he'll be available for backup duty, if needed. With regular starter Alex Smith out with a knee injury, Cody Pickett is scheduled to get the nod on Sunday.

Jason Wright, cle

As anticipated, the Cleveland Browns have promoted Wright from their practice squad for Sunday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans. The running back will serve as the primary backup to starter Reuben Droughns, as William Green (ankle) is doubtful and Lee Suggs (thumb) is still at least a week away from a return.

Braylon Edwards, cle

Edwards has recovered from the infection in his elbow, and he continues to progress in the Browns' system. As a result, the rookie receiver, who was the third overall pick in this year's draft, will become more involved in the offensive attack going forward, according to head coach Romeo Crennel. Antonio Bryant will remain as the top option in the passing game, while Edwards and Dennis Northcutt will split time at No. 2.

11/2/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

Droughns was arrested and charged with speeding and operating under the influence after being pulled over near Cleveland early Tuesday morning. The Browns' running back later was released without bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.

William Green, cle

Green was unable to practice with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, and he shows up as doubtful on this week's injury report. Nursing a sprained ankle, the running back's foot remains in a protective boot, and barring a miraculous recovery, it does not appear that he will be available for Sunday's battle with the Tennessee Titans.

10/31/2005

William Green, cle

Green underwent precautionary X-rays following Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, and the tests revealed no major damage. Reportedly, the Browns' running back suffered a minor leg injury, but he does not expect to miss any time. Serving as Reuben Droughns' primary backup, Green finished the game with 48 yards on 10 carries.

Ken Dorsey, cle

Dorsey, getting the starting nod in place of the injured Alex Smith, was unable to return to the 49ers' lineup after spraining his left ankle in the second half of Sunday's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The quarterback was on crutches after the game and is considered doubtful for next weekend's matchup with the New York Giants, according to head coach Mike Nolan.

10/27/2005

Ken Dorsey, cle

According to 49ers head coach Mike Nolan, Dorsey will get the nod in Sunday's matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as regular starter Alex Smith continues to be sidelined with a sprained and swollen right knee. A seventh-round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, Dorsey has yet to play this season. Last year, he appeared in nine contests, going 123 of 226 for 1,231 yards, six touchdowns and nine interceptions.

10/26/2005

Brandon Rideau, cle

The Cleveland Browns have promoted Rideau from their practice squad, filling the void created when cornerback Gary Baxter was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday. The rookie receiver had seven catches for 84 yards in the preseason, but did not make the regular-season roster out of camp.

10/24/2005

Joe Jurevicius, cle

Jurevicius was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys after landing on his arm while making a catch in the fourth quarter. The receiver, who was unable to return to the Seahawks' lineup, has been diagnosed with a pinched nerve in his neck, but the injury is not considered serious. He has been listed as day-to-day.

Reuben Droughns, cle

Droughns recorded his first 100-yard outing of the 2005 campaign, hitting the century mark on the nose on 19 carries in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions. The running back logged all but three of the Browns' rushes in the game.

Gary Baxter, cle

Tests have revealed that Baxter has a torn pectoral muscle, an injury suffered early in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions. The cornerback underwent surgery on Monday, and he will be placed on injured reserve, officially ending his 2005 campaign. In five games this season, Baxter notched 23 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble.

10/23/2005

Braylon Edwards, cle

Edwards is expected to play for the Browns in Sunday's home game against the Lions. The rookie wide receiver has missed the past two games due to an infection in his right elbow.

10/19/2005

Braylon Edwards, cle

Edwards participated in the Browns' workout today, and may be able to return to the active squad much sooner than originally anticipated. He is listed as doubtful for this Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.

10/17/2005

Michael Jameson, cle

The Cleveland Browns have terminated Jameson's contract after the safety missed the first four games of the season while serving a suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. A sixth-round draft pick in 2001, Jameson played in all 16 games for the Browns last year.

10/12/2005

Braylon Edwards, cle

Edwards has been released from the hospital after undergoing surgery to remove some infection from his right elbow over the weekend. According to his father, the Browns' rookie receiver could be sidelined 4-6 weeks, but he hopes to be back on the field sooner than that. Edwards already has been ruled out of Sunday's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, and his status currently is listed as week-to-week.

10/11/2005

Lee Suggs, cle

Suggs underwent surgery to insert two screws in his right thumb, broken in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. He is expected to be out of action up to four weeks. This is just the latest in a string of injuries Suggs has suffered in his pro career. He missed the first two games this year with a sprained ankle, in addition to six games last year, and nine in 2003.

10/10/2005

Joe Jurevicius, cle

With Darrell Jackson and Bobby Engram sidelined with injuries, the Seahawks turned to Jurevicius to fill one of the voids in the starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the St. Louis Rams. The veteran receiver took advantage of the opportunity, hauling in a career-high nine passes for 137 yards and a touchdown.

Braylon Edwards, cle

Not only did Edwards undergo surgery to remove some infection in his right elbow on Saturday, but he remains the hospital for evaluation and treatment and likely won't be released until Tuesday or Wednesday. The Browns' rookie receiver was unable to play in Sunday's game against the Bears after the elbow swelled up over the previous couple of days, prompting the procedure. His status will be updated later this week.

10/9/2005

Braylon Edwards, cle

After undergoing a minor medical procedure on Saturday to treat an infection in his elbow, Edwards has been ruled out of Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears. The rookie receiver was a last-minute scratch, as he practiced with the Browns all week and was not on the injury report. The team has not indicated when Edwards will return.

10/7/2005

Joe Jurevicius, cle

Both regular starters -- Darrell Jackson (knee) and Bobby Engram (ribs) -- are slated to miss Sunday's meeting with the St. Louis Rams, meaning Jurevicius will step into the Seahawks' starting lineup this weekend. Opposite the veteran receiver likely will be D.J. Hackett, with Peter Warrick and Jerheme Urban handling the backup duties.

9/27/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

Droughns claimed the Cleveland Browns' starting tailback job when Lee Suggs suffered a high ankle sprain late in training camp, and it doesn't appear that he will lose the gig any time soon. According to head coach Romeo Crennel, the former Bronco will be in the starting backfield for the foreseeable future, even though Suggs returned from the injury last week.

9/26/2005

Lee Suggs, cle

As anticipated, Suggs made his 2005 debut in Sunday's matchup with the Indianapolis Colts after missing the Browns first two games of the season with a high ankle sprain. The running back saw limited duty, however, notching just two catches for seven yards and failing to record a carry.

9/25/2005

Lee Suggs, cle

Suggs is active for today's game against at Indianapolis, and will serve as the backup to starting running back Reuben Droughns.

9/23/2005

Lee Suggs, cle

Suggs has declared that his troublesome ankle has recovered, and he plans to play in Sunday's matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. The Browns' running back, who has been sidelined for more than a month with a high ankle sprain, reported no problems on Thursday after practicing with the team for the second consecutive day. He's listed as questionable on Cleveland's injury report.

9/22/2005

Derek Anderson, cle

Anderson wasn't out of work for long. After being let go by the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday, the rookie quarterback has been claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns. He takes the roster spot of veteran Doug Johnson, who was released by the club on Wednesday.

9/21/2005

Derek Anderson, cle

After signing veteran Kordell Stewart last week, Anderson became expendable, so the Baltimore Ravens decided to release the rookie quarterback on Tuesday. Until regular starter Kyle Boller is able to return from a hyperextended big toe, Anthony Wright will be the team's top signal caller, while Stewart will handle the backup duties.

9/19/2005

Steve Heiden, cle

Heiden had the best game of his NFL career, helping the Browns squeeze by the Green Bay Packers in Sunday's 26-24 victory. The tight end, who was nursing a neck injury all last week, finished the game with six catches for 104 yards and two touchdowns. One of his grabs went for a 62-yard score.

Braylon Edwards, cle

Edwards scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in Sunday's victory over the Green Bay Packers, hauling in a Trent Dilfer pass for an 80-yard score. The Browns' rookie receiver, who was the third overall pick in this year's draft, finished the contest with three catches for 107 yards. He had just two receptions in his NFL debut last week.

9/18/2005

William Green, cle

Green may not see a lot of action in Cleveland's backfield Sunday against Green Bay. Browns head coach Romeo Crennel said he will stick with Reuben Droughns if the running back is hot, so it's possible that Droughns will play most or all of Sunday's game in Green Bay. Green had just four rushes for 12 yards against Cincinnati last week.

9/16/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

According to Coach Romeo Crennel, Droughns will start at running back for the Browns when they face the Green Bay Packers this Sunday.

9/14/2005

Gary Baxter, cle

Baxter has recovered from the concussion he sustained in an exhibition meeting with the Detroit Lions on August 20, and he returned to full-speed workouts with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday. The cornerback reported no problems and said he plans to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Green Bay Packers.

Matt Stewart, cle

An MRI has revealed that Stewart has some ligament damage in his knee, an injury suffered in the Browns' season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals last weekend. According to head coach Romeo Crennel, the linebacker will miss at least this Sunday's matchup with the Green Bay Packers, and beyond that, his status is considered as week-to-week.

Lee Suggs, cle

Suggs took part in portions of the Cleveland Browns' practice on Wednesday, and there is a chance he could return to action in Sunday's meeting with the Green Bay Packers. However, with Reuben Droughns and William Green currently splitting the carries, the Browns do not need to rush Suggs back into the lineup until he is at, or close to, 100 percent. He has missed nearly a month with a high ankle sprain and resumed jogging just last week.

Joshua Cribbs, cle

Cribbs will miss at least Sunday's matchup with the Green Bay Packers after an MRI revealed ligament damage in his knee earlier this week.

Lee Suggs, cle

Nursing a high ankle sprain, Suggs officially has been declared inactive for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, a move that was expected.

9/9/2005

Braylon Edwards, cle

Due to missing the first couple weeks of training camp in a holdout, Edwards has been forced to work his way up the Cleveland Browns' depth chart.

9/8/2005

Reuben Droughns, cle

With Lee Suggs still sidelined with a high ankle sprain, Droughns is slated to get the starting nod in Sunday's season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. The running back, who was acquired from the Denver Broncos during the offseason, will be backed up by William Green. Droughns finished the 2004 campaign with 1,240 yards and six touchdowns on 275 carries, and 32 catches for 241 yards and two TDs.

Gary Baxter, cle

Baxter likely will be unavailable for Sunday's season opener against the Cininnati Bengals, as he continues to recover from the concussion he sustained in an exhibition meeting with the Detroit Lions on August 20. The Browns' starting cornerback, officially listed as doubtful, will be replaced in the lineup by Leigh Bodden if he is unable to go.

9/7/2005

Lee Suggs, cle

Suggs is still not back to full strength, as he continues to recover from the high ankle sprain he suffered three weeks ago.

Boyer, who missed the entire 2004 campaign with a broken bone in his right foot, has been released by the Cleveland Browns.

McCutcheon has been cleared to return to practice with the Cleveland Browns, and if no problems are reported over the next few days, he should make his preseason debut in Thursday's exhibition finale against the Chicago Bears.

The running back, who was acquired from the Denver Broncos during the offseason, will be backed up by William Green.

Reportedly, Suggs' sprained ankle is a bit more serious than originally thought, and the Browns' running back could be sidelined for the next two weeks.

After sitting out nearly a week with a nagging hamstring injury, Droughns has been practicing with the Browns the last few days and has looked good, according to head coach Romeo Crennel.

However, the injury could hurt his chances of remaining in the spot.

8/3/2005

Daylon McCutcheon, cle

McCutcheon continues to be bothered by migraine headaches, so the Browns' starting cornerback will visit a specialist on Wednesday to help determine the cause of the problem.

In six pro seasons, all with Cleveland, McCutcheon has played in 87 games (80 starts) and logged seven sacks and 10 interceptions.

According to team owner Randy Lerner, the Browns and Winslow are working out the details of an agreement that will have the team pay bonus money that currently is being withheld from the tight end because of the May 1 motorcycle accident that ended Winslow's 2005 season before it even began.
