Cleveland Browns | Winslow cleared; Baxter, Bentley still out
excerpt:
Kellen Winslow is cleared and ready to practice, but LeCharles Bentley and Gary Baxter are not.
Browns General Manager Phil Savage said Bentley and Baxter will begin training camp on the active-physically unable to perform (PUP) list, though he said Baxter should be activated early next week.
Bentley is in Berea with the Browns today, and he'll be present for some meetings over the next four weeks. Savage said Bentley will continue to rehab away from the team as well, and the Browns will re-evaluate his status in four weeks.
"He's going to continue on the rehab course," Savage said. "We are not activating him ready for practice. As it stands right now he's going to be here for a number of the meetings.
"We'll see where we are four weeks from now in terms of LeCharles passing a physical to get on the football field. He's not quite ready to put on equipment and go out there and practice on the football field."
Savage said Bentley had an MRI Friday, but said a physical to determine whether or not he was football-ready would be put off for four more weeks.
"Until today we had not seen LeCharles," Savage said. "He looks great. He looks like he's in pretty good shape from a physical standpoint."
Savage said Winslow passed his physical Friday and was cleared for practice. He said Baxter "probably could pass today, but we're going to hold him through the weekend."
Savage said he had "nothing significant" to report regarding contract negotiations with Brady Quinn other than the two sides had discussions yesterday and planned to have more, probably as soon as tonight. He said he hopes the signings of Joe Thomas and Eric Wright, leaving Quinn as the team's only unsigned draft pick, would expedite the process.
