As the Browns (and their fans) gear up to take on the Jets during the first week of preseason football, Lane Adkins from the Orange and Brown report has plenty of updates for those in need of last minute information.
One issue that has been tossed about over the last few days is in regard to the injury of tight end Kellen Winslow. K2 has spent the last week or so on the sidelines during team drills, forcing some rumor mill mongers to question the infamous knee. You know, the one that has been a chief concern for those considering giving the tight end a new contract? But with all of the possibilities out there, Lane shares the following:
There has been speculation that TE Kellen Winslow has an issue with his knee and this is the reasoning behind him sitting out some training camp sessions. Let it be known, the coaching staff is well aware of the pre-existing condition of the knee and his practice schedules dictates his time on the field. He is given time off by the staff, but the last couple days Winslow has been out due to a hamstring issue. The surgically repaired knee has not prohibited the TE from competing as much as the coaching staff's involvement has.
So, while the knee may keep the big man out of a few practices this season, it appears that the coaching staff has been monitoring this situation very closely. Given the depth issues at wide receiver, any missed time by Winslow would be a huge blow to the Browns offense - and the coaching staff knows this.
Adkins has plenty of other updates regarding said receiving corps as well as the established rotation among the linebackers. You can bet that all eyes will be on guys like Travis Wilson and rookie Alex Hall this very evening.
