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.

Jerry, if thats the case, along with the DDN, the Cleveland Plain Dealer is lying about Stallworth as well. Sean, do you think any decent corners become available or will they go with what they have. Will be interested in how the rookie corner from UNLV is doing. He had some good OTA workouts. And is Wright healthy this year?By TBill

Tell Chick Ludwig to stop dawging the Brownies! He’s writing about how poorly they’ll do this season. Time for you to smack his little pansy butt around, Sean, and take over the Browns columns at the DDN!!By Bengals Fan

TBill, Stop your whining cuz! The Chickter is the man at the DDN and really knows his stuff! It appears that your boy Sean is non-original writing off other publications material. If he’s the Browns so-called beat writer why and the heck isn’t he reporting from training camp? Sean is more like the deadbeat writer! The dude lacks enthusiasm! And he needs to get rid of that mug shot! The Chickter is covering two beats because readers love ‘em. I agree with Chick. The Browns will get punked this season!
