Some injury news to start with
First day of camp, already an injury?
It’s probably not too serious because not much was made of it, but wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth was held out of the first workout with a hamstring problem.
The Browns otherwise made two injury-related moves as camp began Wednesday, placing receiver Joe Jurevicius and offensive lineman Ryan Tucker on the active physically unable to perform list.
Neither move came as a surprise.
Jurevicius has had two operations on his right knee since the end of last season, plus the requisite staph infection that needed to be cleaned up.
He and Tucker (broken hip) can remain on the active list through the mandatory cutdown to 75 players. After that, if the team places a player on the list, he must miss the first six games of the regular season.
Reporters asked GM Phil Savage if he expected both players back for the regular season and this is what he said:
“For Ryan, we feel good about where he is. With Joe, it’s a little up in the air right now. Unfortunately, it took a turn for the worse, but we are still hopeful to have him. It could be for the first part of the season and it may be further down the line.”
One veteran receiver came available Wednesday when the San Diego Chargers released Eric Parker. With Stallworth down and Jurevicius out, the Browns may have more than a passing interest here.
Beats waiting for Chris Henry to be reinstated, that’s for sure.
