Winslow has sprained shoulder
"Tight end Kellen Winslow's suffered a sprained right shoulder against the Bills and will probably be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. He sat out Wednesday's practice, but declined to comment. Coach Romeo Crennel said an MRI exam showed the current injury isn't worse than last season's separated left shoulder that bothered Winslow much of the season. "If he can get his arm above his head and catch the football, then he'll play," he said. "If he can't or doesn't have the strength, then we're fooling ourselves if we think he'll be effective. It all depends on his strength and range of motion." Receiver Braylon Edwards says he's never worried about Winslow's ..."
Kellen Winslow to undergo MRI on right shoulder
"Browns tight end Kellen Winslow will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder after injuring it during Monday's 29-27 victory over the Buffalo Bills. It's not the same separated shoulder that bothered him most of last season, the one he decided not to have surgically repaired in the off-season. "We're checking him out," said coach Romeo Crennel. "We'll see if he's going to be able to do much this week." Winslow suffered the injury after a fine 16-yard sideline catch that led to Phil Dawson's 56-yard game-winning field goal. He was tackled by linebacker Paul Posluszny and came up wincing. But he continued to play and had one more ball thrown wide of him on the drive. Winslow, who caught ..."
Cleveland Browns TE Winslow to get MRI on injured shoulder
"Browns tight end Kellen Winslow will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder after injuring it in Monday night's 29-27 victory over the Bills. Winslow suffered the injury on a 16-yard catch on the game-winning drive. He came up wincing after getting tackled near the right sideline. "We'll check him out and see if he'll be able to do much this week,'' Browns head coach Romeo Crennel said during his weekly briefing. Crennel said it wasn't the same shoulder that bothered Winslow for much of last season."
Winslow, Edwards are not complementary parts
"Coaches always dream of air power, as represented by guys like Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow. Many times, the dreams do not come true. Last year, Edwards shattered a Browns touchdown-receptions record that had stood since 1963. Winslow became the most prolific tight end in terms of reception yardage the team ever employed. Quarterback Derek Anderson came out of nowhere to take the controls of a space-age offense. It was never certain to work, though. The classic formula is to have complementary players, whose strengths compensate for others' weaknesses. Asked about the late Ernie Davis, whom Paul Brown dreamed of teaming with Jim Brown in a big-back tandem for the ages, Jim Brown ..."
Disheartened Winslow rues the two that got away
"Browns tight end Kellen Winslow blamed himself for letting the last pass of the game slip right through his Pro Bowl hands. "I can't get that last play out of my head," he said. "The great ones make that catch and that's what I want to be. I let my team down." With 54 seconds remaining, the Browns trailing, 34-30, and facing a fourth-and-1 at their 42, Brady Quinn fired a pass to Winslow in the left flat that sailed right through his hands. End of game. Never mind that Winslow caught 10 passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns - a 5-yard catch in the first quarter and a 16-yard grab in the second. Winslow also fumbled the ball away in the fourth quarter to set up a Denver touchdown that ..."
Cleveland Browns' Kellen Winslow had his ups and downs against the Broncos
"Browns tight end Kellen Winslow had a roller-coaster game. Make that a "Top Thrill Dragster" kind of night. In the first half, he was the second-best thing to Brady Quinn when he caught touchdown passes of 5 and 16 yards. The switch to Quinn seemed to rejuvenate Winslow. But his superb night was marred by a troublesome fourth quarter. On what turned out to be the Browns' final offensive play of the game, a Quinn pass sailed right through his hands. Earlier in the fourth, Dre Bly forced him to fumble after an 8-yard catch. The turnover led to a Denver touchdown that put the Broncos up, 27-23. Winslow also committed an offensive interference penalty that wiped out a fine 15-yard catch ..."
Phil Savage says tight end Kellen Winslow had only a staph infection
"Browns tight end Kellen Winslow rejoined the team Monday, but before the parties could move on from Staphgate, one matter had to be settled. Browns General Manager Phil Savage put to rest his own suggestions that perhaps Winslow was suffering from something in addition to staph, something that he and his family wouldn't want revealed. In an unscheduled 29-second appearance prior to coach Romeo Crennel's regular news conference, Savage entered the media room and said: "Once and for all, Kellen's illness was determined to be a staph infection. He had been in the hospital for two or three days. It takes a couple of days to figure out what something is. "Secondly, there was no secondary ..."
GM Phil Savage says Kellen Winslow has staph only
"Browns general manager Phil Savage made an unscheduled appearance in the Browns media room Monday to set the record straight that Kellen Winslow's illness was only a staph infection. "Once and for all, Kellen's illness was determined to be a staph infection,'' said Savage in a 30-second statement. "Secondly, there was no secondary illness. Thirdly, he's in the building. He's worked out, the team meets at 1 o'clock. It's the end of the story. It's over with. There's no secondary illness. Staph infection. Everybody's got it, right?'' Savage made the remarks after he suggested Sunday night after the Jaguars game that perhaps there was more to Winslow's illness than just staph. Savage had ..."
Kellen Winslow's suspension lifted
"Kellen Winslow's suspension was rescinded by the Browns on Saturday after club officials received copies of text messages from a Browns public relations employee telling Winslow not to reveal that he had a staph infection, a source close to the situation told The Plain Dealer. Winslow will still be fined $25,000 for comments about the Browns not protecting its players enough from staph, but he will not forfeit the entire $235,294 game check for sitting out today's game in Jacksonville. He also stood to lose another $1 million based on the terms of his restructured contract, which stipulated he would lose that amount in the event he engaged in conduct detrimental to the team. Winslow also ..."
Winslow's crime seems to be that he told truth
