I really hope Sanders makes the team. Seems like a very upstanding young man.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

I was just in my car listening to FOX Sports Radio and the talk show host - who I'm not sure it was - was talking to Chris Rose (?) who implied that he is in some way friends with Braylon.
Anyway, I came in the middle of it, but as soon as Braylon's name was brought up, the host said he had talked to him earlier - possibly part of a radio interview that had aired or was going to be airing.
He said he asked Braylon if he was going to be ready Week 1, and he said that Braylon implied that he thought he would but the doctors weren't as optimistic. I'm paraphrasing here, but that was the general gist. He said Braylon seemed defiant that he would be ready to go opening weekend, but left some room open that he might not.
All I got to say is that must have been some gash.
Then they went on to say how much of a bonehead injury it was.

Braylon Edwards, during an interview on Sirius Radio, offered no guarantee he will recover from his lacerated heel in time to play against the Cowboys in the season opener Sept. 7.
Edwards was spiked on the back of his right heel by teammate Donte Stallworth on Aug. 9 while running sprints. Edwards was not wearing shoes. He has not practiced since the injury and has been instructed to stay off his feet.
“Every day I’m getting better,” Edwards said on Tuesday. “I’m working with the trainers to be the best I can be. When the time is right, we’ll be back.”
Asked if that means he’ll be ready for the Cowboys, Edwards, upbeat despite his situation, answered:
“Hopefully. That is the goal. We got lucky. It was a freakish accident. It could have been worse, but it wasn’t.”
The offense was stagnant against the Giants on Monday without Edwards, who caught 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns last year.
Coach Romeo Crennel did not sound like Edwards will be back soon, either. Edwards definitely will not play against the Lions on Saturday and it is unlikely he will play against the Bears in the final preseason game a week from tonight.
“We’re trying to keep Braylon off his feet so he doesn’t reopen that wound,” Crennel said after practice Wednesday. “The wound is healing, but we’re going to be a little cautious because at his position where he runs and cuts, the thing that we don’t want to happen is we don’t want him to break it open. He’d have to miss more time if it gets to that point.”
The Browns have been slammed at wide receiver. Joe Jurevicius is on the Physically Unable to Perform list recovering from knee surgery and Joshua Cribbs is in a walking boot because he has a sprained left ankle.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

 I'm just getting tired of hearing the doomers and gloomers cry before the season even starts. We have two and a half weeks to get healthy before the opener. Some will probably get there, some won't. Either way, from what I've heard, none of the injuries are serious and the guys will be back. I'm hoping we are getting them out of our system early and stay healthy like we did last season. I think it spoiled us. But, things happen and **NEWSFLASH** someone important probably will be hurt this season. Just trying to prepare you before it happens.

I think there is more to this injury than a clean on the heel.
I had puncture wounds before, and while they hurt and are irritating, especially in places the are under constant use, they are hardly, "stay off your feet" injuries.
I had a seashell slice the bottom of my foot open, got 6 stitches. They told me to keep it clean and sent me on my way. I was hobbled a bit the first few days, but within 4-5 days I was putting pressure on it no trouble, and after 2 weeks it was almost all healed.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think a seashell and cleat slice are comparable. He was running full speed and a cleat from another guy running full speed was shoved into his heel...probably a very deep cut very near or on the calcaneus bone causing serious bruising. If you feel the back of your heel, there isn't a lot of fat there to secure sutures and it doesn't stretch easily. It would take longer to heal than the fatty, fleshy part of the sole of your foot.
Just sayin.

1.) if you're a Brownies fan and not a doomer and gloomer, you apparently haven't been watching.
2.) none of the injuries are serious right now, but the staph bug easily seriousifies them.
3.) it's not nice that you insinuate that i'll be injured this season. but i appreciate how you feel about me.

Michelle, I'm not dooming and glooming about it.,, I mean, we don't know for sure he'll miss the Dallas game and so what if he misses the the last preseason game... It's this game coming this week that might have been nice to have him for two reasons, this is the game that the starters play more and because of the injury to DA, Quinn is getting the start and I'd have liked to see him with BE in the game.. So I'm only sad about coming game on Saturday. Otherwise, I'm rather upbeat.. or hadn't you noticed

good point! i'd have loved to have seen Quinn and Edwards on the field together in a game situation, and what chemistry they may develop. i do think it's ultimately a good thing that DA will sit some time out, only in that it gives Quinn some significant time with the ones.

You're right, they are going to be totally different.
And the difference between Edwards' injury and the seashell mishap that FF tragically suffered is Edwards plays football. He's sprinting and cutting on that foot. The Browns aren't going to risk having arguably their best player reopen that wound, risk him for an infection, and have him miss even more time.
They're just going to be extra cautious. If he doesn't have to walk on it, they'll keep him off of it until they feel it's heeled (pun intended) enough.

I don't think you're giving proper consideration to FloridaFan's athletic prowess and the severity of his seashell injury, 17.

Actually, I don't think it's a good thing that DA has to sit. That's not going to bode well for the team in the near term future I don't think. At least for the foreseeable future, DA is our starter and he needs the work to get to his best.
But since he is sitting, yeah, I am anxious to see Quinn with the 1's..
If I really believed there was a QB contraversy, then this might be more meaningful, but except for in the minds of some fans and maybe a few media folks, there really doesn't appear to be one..

to be clear, i am not insinuating there is a contreversey. i am saying that in the bigger picture, it's good for Quinn to get some time. As Michelle points out, someone important is bound to get a boo-boo. should that boo-boo-getter be DA, this playing time will have proven very valuable to Quinn and the team, as he will then be up to bat.
DA is DA. he's played enough real football now that one pre-season game isn't going to right all his wrongs in the same way that missing said game isn't going to cause him to regress.

Maybe if I made several million dollars a year the doctors would have told me to stay off the foot til it healed, but I'm a working stiff so they told me to get back to the mines.

I understood that bigbulldawg,, I didn't mean to indicate you thought there was a controversy at all.. if you thought that, then I'm sorry, my bad.
Yes, I can agree that since DA has to sit out, then we are getting a good value out of seeing Quinn.. I do wish BE was available however. Same with Lewis who is also scheduled to sit out.

just clicking and also thanks for the laughs dawgs...
Just a note...BE didn't get cleated on the bottom of his foot...it was the back of the heel were last I looked was nothing but tendons and important stuff going on there.
Pretty nasty area and to our knowledge nothing severe damaged (achilles Tendon) but the area has to be traumatized a bit...healing swelling, BE has a little more use of his feet than Curt Shilling...point blank it needs to heal. After the stitches come out things will get better. Nothing in my life has healed wounds better than going into the ocean so hopefully some variation of Salt Water therapy will be utilized.
Then he has to get back into playing shape...we don't want another totally unrelated injury to occur cause he came back too early.
Doomed - yes this acorn falling on our heads definitely spells the World as we know it ending. We'll survive a game or two without BE. Are we a better team with him...Gosh yes, but win or lose there actually are bigger variables than BE.

I posted this back on August 10 on this very thread. Quote:
There is no doubt in my mind that this is more serious than we are led to believe. Worst cas scenario - he hurt his achilles and will be out for the year. Heck, he's an NFL player with a cut that required stitches on his foot. -He will not be 100% unless he sits out everything (practice included) for at least 4 weeks.He's gonna be out for a while.

They sat him out in 2 preseason games...... big deal. It's been 2 weeks with stitches in his foot. If he's not playing September, then I'll worry.
"He's done" is a bold statement.

Why, is there some breaking news about his injury that only you are aware of? We all knew he'd likely miss the remainder of the preseason from the outset. It's a safe move. As far as I know, the timetable for his return hasn't changed since the time of the injury.

I would love to see pics of this foot injury, because I lacerated and filleted my hand accross my index finger, to the center of my palm, down to my ligaments to the point where my hand looked like a spit open piece of shrimp. (yeah, that was fun...don't ask how it happened); my hand was completely healed in 3 weeks with 20 stitches. I'm also a guitarist and was using that hand (against my doctors direction ) after only 5 days of the incident. If BE is off his foot, I can't see how he won't be able to play in week one. This game is highly important to me because I am in a bet with a Cowboy fan and will have to sollute his Cowboy banner and say a pledge if I lose for the entire week after the game. This is in public, BTW.

The counter bet is that he has to wear a Browns hat for the entire week durring work. I don't even have to make him say anything. His work area is sprawled with Cowboy crap. To top things off, he's a barber and gets a lot of customers. Everybody will know whats up.

Per Steve Doerschuk at the Canton Repository:
Derek Anderson wound up on the field for part of today’s practice after all, but he didn’t do much, and went back inside without participating in team drills.
It was another very bright day, and sun glare is one of the worst things for a recovering concussion patient.
Romeo Crennel said he probably won’t play Anderson Thursday, and the way we read the coach, the reality is No. 3 won’t suit up.
Crennel clarified Braylon Edwards’ status after the star wideout missed another practice. He said he has been told Edwards will practice “sometime next week.” Practices will be conducted Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in advance of the Sept. 7 opener against Dallas. It’s safe to say that Edwards will face the Cowboys even if he doesn’t make it back out until the Friday session, and holds up well in that.
Crennel also sounded optimistic about Jamal Lewis returning from a hamstring issue. He said he has been told Lewis expects to practice Monday.
The Browns will face Chicago, though, without big guns Anderson, Edwards and Lewis.
The question of when Ryan Tucker can return remains fuzzy, based on today’s post-practice chat with Crennel.
This is from Andre Knott (nothing about Edwards and is about Monday's practice):
- The Browns returned to the practice field today with a few of the injured guys returning to the field. Willie McGinest practiced most of the day after missing Saturday’s game with a groin injury.
- Also Antwan Peek was out on the field and did a couple of individual things. Peek who has been out most of camp with a minor knee surgery hopes to be back next week.
- Lennie Friedman missed practice with a tight muscle in his shoulder.
- The Browns made their first cut of camp as they released cornerback Damon Jenkins. The Browns still must make 4 more moves before 4 pm Tuesday.
- The final cuts will take place this Saturday.
- Coach Crennel said that Derek Anderson is a step or two ahead of Brodney Pool in returning from their concussions.
- He also stated that Jamal Lewis has a slight hamstring pull and has been running in the pool.
- Still no official injury news on Sean Jones other then he has swelling in his knee. He did not practice today, but some concern has to be there if the swelling does not go away.

Good, glad to see that he's gonna be back for Dallas. Also glad that I was totally wrong. I don't blame any of you for totally slamming me for being pessimistic about Braylon's injury. I'd rather be pessimistic and wrong than optimistic and wrong.

You expect a little good news from the horses mouth to stop the doom and gloomers?

An update on Edwards' injury, from Edwards.

Cleveland Browns receiver Edwards says his injured foot is ready for action
by Mary Kay Cabot, Plain Dealer reporter

Browns receiver Braylon Edwards explained for the first time today during an interview on the Jim Rome show exactly what happened the day teammate Donte Stallworth gashed his foot.
"I wasn't running barefoot, I had on socks,'' Edwards said. "Basically I take my shoes off after every practice. As soon as practice is over with, Romeo (Crennel) finishes up, I take my shoes off, stretch and then I go inside.
Well, this particular practice, myself and Donte messed up on a play, so we had to go run dome over-and-backs. Donte and I were racing and messing around and I got ahead of him and then he caught up with me and I slowed down thinking it was over with. He was messing around and just jumped on me, playing around a little. When he jumped on me and came down, his cleat gashed into my ankle, so it was just a case of horseplaying going wrong.''
Rome asked Edwards if he'd like to have the incident back.
"No, no, because it was a freak accident,'' Edwards said. "It can happen. Guys horseplay all the time. Guys do things all the time and they don't get hurt. No, it's not that I wish I could have it back. It happened. It's no big deal.''
Asked about his status for the opener, Edwards implied that his stitches are out and that he'll be ready to begin practicing on Monday. "It used to be a bad foot, hint, hint,'' he said. "It's fine.''
When asked if it was 100 percent, he said it was.
As for his conditioning, he said, "Considering I've only missed two weeks, I'm sure I'll be somewhat winded at times, but I have a week to get in some kind of shape so it shouldn't be too hard.'' This must be a lie, because according to the doom-&-gloomers Edwards should be dead by now.
Statistics are like a bikini; what they show is interesting, but what they hide is vital.
Drive for show (1st round), Putt for dough (rest of draft).
