Update: Head coach Romeo Crennel said he doesn't know when Edwards will return from a torn knee ligament, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Recommendation: Edwards tore his right ACL late in 2005 against the Jaguars. Crennel said Edwards won't be cleared to practice and play until close to the beginning of the season. "When that is, I'm not sure," Crennel said. "But we can't take him until they release him. They're going to release him when he gets well. When that is, I don't know." We will continue to keep you posted.

Winslow could be cleared for camp, but not Edwards

ORLANDO, FLA. - Browns coach Romeo Crennel doesn't know when wide receiver Braylon Edwards will return from a torn knee ligament, but Crennel hopes tight end Kellen Winslow will be cleared to take part at full speed in the team's veteran minicamp June 16-18.

``They haven't released him (medically) yet, but (Winslow is) further along than Braylon,'' Crennel said Tuesday. ``Hopefully, he'll be ready by the minicamp.''

Crennel knows that Winslow's return is dependent on his state of mind coming off a broken leg in 2004 and a torn knee ligament, the result of his now-infamous motorcyle accident.

``I think he wants to be that playmaker he was coming out of Miami,'' Crennel said. ``But it has been two years since he's played. We'll just have to see.''

Crennel said Edwards won't be cleared to practice and play until close to the beginning of the season.

``When that is, I'm not sure,'' Crennel said. ``But we can't take him until they release him. They're going to release him when he gets well. When that is, I don't know.''

The Duke returns

Ada again will be making ``the Duke.''

The NFL announced that game balls again will be referred to as ``The Duke,'' a way to honor late Giants owner Wellington Mara.

Mara was named Wellington by his father after the Duke of Wellington and was given the nickname ``The Duke'' as a youngster by Giants players.

The league started to refer to game balls as ``The Duke'' in 1941 at the suggestion of George Halas, but stopped in 1970 after the AFL-NFL merger.

The ball continues to be made in the Ohio town of Ada.

it is a real shame, because Edawards has the talent he could/still can be crazy good.

Edwards and Winslow have set the Browns back a lot. Those two healthy would make that offense pretty damn good.

Ok Players taht Were Busts:Jeff Faine Braylon Edwards Kellen Winslow Tim Couch

Horrible Players :William Green Gerard Warren Courtney Brown

How are you considered a "bust" if you get hurt and never play a full season of football??? I don't think Edwards and Winslow would qualify for being viewed as "BUSTS" I mean because its way too early to determine that . Now Couch and that disappointing DE from Penn State , Courtney Brown, are definitely busts!!!.......... Oh Yeah, and if Braylon does get healthy at some point this season, look out for him because he's a hell of a playermaker, very explosive.

it's too early to call faine and edwards busts at this point, faine hasn't been that bad at times and has been a product of the fact that the rest of his line was awful. Edwards had flashes of brilliance and could be a good one and in no way has played long enough to be considered a bust.
