"Joe Jurevicius' status for the season is up in the air, Browns General Manager Phil Savage said Wednesday.

Jurevicius (knee) and offensive lineman Ryan Tucker (hip) were both placed on the active/physically unable to perform list, where they will remain until after the first cut to 75 on Aug. 26, Savage said.

When asked if he'll have them both for the season, Savage sounded more optimistic about Tucker than Jurevicius, who's undergone four surgeries in the off-season, including three to remove staph from the scoped knee.

"We feel good about where [Tucker] is," said Savage. "I think we're a little further down the line in terms of where he is recovery-wise. With Joe, it's a little up in the air right now. Unfortunately, it took a turn for the worse while we were gone on vacation, but we're still hopeful to have him. It could be for the first part of the season, it might be a little later down the line."

Savage said the two will remain on the active/PUP list through that first roster cut so they don't have to count against the 80-player limit. If they're placed on PUP to start the season, they'll have to miss at least the first six weeks. At this point, that looks like the likely option for Jurevicius. "
