"Browns starting receiver Donte Stallworth was inactive for the Ravens game with his pulled quad muscle and Syndric Steptoe started in his place.

Stallworth was inactive the first four games of the season with the quad, and was limited last week in Jacksonville after aggravating it the week before. In three games, he has seven catches for 56 yards, including a 5-yard TD in Jacksonville. Stallworth was limited in practice during the week and was listed as questionable."

"Receiver Donte' Stallworth could be the biggest beneficiary of the bye week. Yet to play after pulling his right quadriceps in pregame warmups for the opener Sept. 7, Stallworth felt he was ''pretty close'' to being ready for Sunday's victory at Cincinnati, but ''it just wasn't quite there.'' The Browns are off until a Monday Night Football appearance Oct. 13 at home against the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants. ''I didn't feel like I was really ready to beat anyone,'' Stallworth said. ''I can run straight ahead fine, but the cutting and [getting] in and out of my breaks wasn't quite there yet. My biggest thing was trying to be smart and not become a liability out there or ..."

"The bye week comes at an opportune time for receiver Donte' Stallworth, who said Monday he'll be ready to make his Browns debut against the New York Giants in the big Monday night game Oct. 13 at Cleveland Browns Stadium. "I was pretty close to being ready [Sunday], but it just wasn't quite there," he said. "My biggest thing is I didn't want to become a liability, so I feel like now with this bye week, it gives me an extra week to be ready and try to strengthen everything. I'm excited to take my cheerleading outfit off and put on a Cleveland Browns uniform." He said he thinks his experience can be a factor. "It can definitely help out some of the younger guys, as far as being able to ..."

"The Browns have been eagerly awaiting the return of receiver Donte' Stallworth from a pulled quad muscle, but he made no promises Wednesday that he'll be ready for the Ravens game. "I'm hoping that I can get out there [Sunday], but I don't want to be out there and let my pride get in the way of me thinking I can go out there and can't, and in reality hurt the team more than I'd like to," he said. "It's a matter of me being able to contribute as opposed to being out there and injuring myself again or hurting the team at all." Stallworth sat out Wednesday's practice and will be a longshot to play if he doesn't practice today. He missed the first two games after pulling the quad in warm-ups ..."

"It sounds likely that a strained quadriceps will keep Browns receiver Donte' Stallworth out for at least a third consecutive week. Hurt in pregame warm-ups before the Sept. 7 opener, Stallworth missed practice again Wednesday and did not sound optimistic about playing Sunday as the Browns (0-2) visit the Baltimore Ravens (1-0). ''I'm OK for now,'' Stallworth said. ''I'm hoping I can get out there. I don't want to be out there and let my pride get in the way of me thinking I can go out there and can't, and in reality hurt the team more than I would like to. ''It's a matter of me being able to contribute as opposed to being out there and injuring myself again or hurting the team at all.'' ..."

"Wide receiver Donte Stallworth underwent an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of what's now thought to be a quadriceps strain. Results will not be made public until Wednesday. When Stallworth first hurt himself in pregame warm-ups Sunday, it was thought to be a pulled groin muscle. But after further exams, the diagnosis was changed. Coach Romeo Crennel admitted Monday that losing Stallworth just before the game was a blow. "It hurt us a little bit because he had shown during training camp that he was a guy that could make some plays for us and we would be able to incorporate into the offense and be able to help us a little bit," Crennel said. The coach said Stallworth was just ..."

"Browns receiver Donte Stallworth opened training camp on the sideline after pulling a hamstring while training at home. Acquired in free agency from the New England Patriots to take over the No. 2 receiver spot, Stallworth played catch with Braylon Edwards during Wednesday's first practice session. General Manager Phil Savage said Stallworth could miss a ''couple days.'' ''He's a little sore; he's working with the trainers,'' coach Romeo Crennel said. ''He's shown that he'll get treatment all the time; he'll do whatever he has to do to get back.'' His absence could help young receivers Travis Wilson, Syndric Steptoe and Steve Sanders and journeyman Kevin Kasper, signed in January, catch ..."

"Donte' Stallworth is a man of many pursuits. But when it came to being pursued in free agency, Stallworth wanted a suitor that could provide more than just the most cash; he wanted a team that had a wealth of talent as well. Stallworth, who became a free agent when the Patriots elected not to pick up $8 million in roster bonuses, landed in the land of Lake Erie, LeBron James, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, catching on with the Cleveland Browns. The Browns went 10-6 last season - their best record since being reincarnated in Cleveland in 1999 - and narrowly missed the playoffs. After adding Stallworth, who signed a seven-year, $35 million deal, and reinforcing the interior of its ..."
