Player Notes
November 22, 2008
Tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. has an injured shoulder but is listed as questionable on the Browns injury report, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View:Ever since Winslow was suspended he has been playing much better. In eight games this year he has three touchdowns and 402 yards receiving.
November 21, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. (shoulder) was limited in Friday's practice and is questionable, according to the team's injury report.

Our View:Winslow has played well since his suspension, but appears to be a risky start this week. We're betting he's a go come game-time.
November 20, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. is not practicing Thursday while nursing his sprained right shoulder, but coach Romeo Crennel is yet to rule him out for Sunday's battle with the Texans, according to the Browns' official website.

Our View:His status will likely depend on his participation in Friday's practice, and a key issue will involve Winslow's strength and range of motion.
November 19, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. has a sprained right shoulder, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:His playing status for Sunday against the Texans is uncertain. He will not practice Wednesday and coach Romeo Crennel won't speculate on his availability, but noted that the key issue will involve Winslow's strength and range of motion.
November 18, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. is slated for an MRI after injuring his right shoulder in Monday's battle with Buffalo, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Coach Romeo Crennel said, "We'll check him out and see if he'll be able to do much this week."

Our View:It was the same shoulder that bothered him over the course of last season. We will keep you posted on the elite tight end's status for Week 12 against the Texans.
November 6, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. had a huge night for the Browns, finishing with two touchdowns and 111 yards receiving on 10 receptions.

Our View:Winslow Jr. was easily Brady Quinn's favorite target on Thursday night, and should see plenty of balls thrown his way in coming weeks.
November 6, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. had two touchdown receptions in the first half with 50 receiving yards.

Our View:Tight ends are typically security blankets for young quarterbacks, and that theory is being proven so far in Thursday's game. Winslow's stock may be on the rise if Quinn remains the starting quarterback.
October 27, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. has returned to the Browns as he and the team have made nice, according to the Associated Press. “Kellen Winslow is back in the building, he’s back with us...” head coach Romeo Crennel said. "Don’t be surprised if Kellen is the starter (this weekend). I’m not saying he’s the starter, but don’t be surprised if he’s the starter.”

Our View:If the Browns want to win games Winslow will be on the field and targeted often. They can trade him in the off-season if they wish, but it is clear who helps the teams' offense most, so there is no reason Winslow shouldn't see as many snaps as usual in the Browns next game provided he is healthy.
October 27, 2008
Cleveland's GM Phil Savage admitted Monday that Kellen Winslow Jr. was hospitalized three weeks ago with a staph infection, according to ESPN.

Our View:This confirms what we suspected all along, but now we know for sure about Winslow's illness. Winslow missed Sunday's game, though it is not really known why since his suspension from the team was lifted. We'll keep you posted on his status for next week.
October 25, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. saw his one-game suspension removed by the Browns, but he will still not play on Sunday, according to the AP. Apparently, he and the team have resolved their differences.

Our View:Winslow will be back with the team on Monday, though we don't quite understand why, if the suspension was rescinded, he still will not play.
October 25, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. was suspended not only for statements degrading the Browns, but also for "profane verbal abuse" of a PR official, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:Both parties need to make up before this becomes a bigger problem. The sputtering Browns' passing attack could not afford to be without the elite tight end for an extended period of time.
October 23, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. will not play in the team's Week 8 contest against the Jaguars, as his appeal will not be held until next Tuesday, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Our View:Obviously, Winslow isn't really appealing the suspension, he's appealing to get a little more than $230,000 back, which is how much he would lose in salary.
October 23, 2008
Browns GM Phil Savage is disputing the claim of Kellen Winslow Jr, who said that the team covered up his illness, which was a staph infection, according to ProFootballTalk.com. "The Browns are bigger than one person. We won’t allow one person to tear down the organization," Savage said.

Our View:Winslow was suspended without pay for his remarks, although he is appealing the punishment. It likely won't be heard until late in the week, so fantasy owners should have a viable alternative at TE.
October 22, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is appealing his one-game suspension without pay, according to NFL.com.

Our View:The appeal is expected to be heard Friday or Saturday in Cleveland. The NFLPA will handle Winslow’s appeal and argue why it believes it is unfair for the Browns to suspend him for one game without pay, costing him $235,294 of his $4 million salary for this season. The Browns were reportedly considering trading him prior to the deadline, and fantasy owners should be concerned regarding his role with the team for the remainder of the season.
October 21, 2008
It has been a up-and-down week for Kellen Winslow Jr culminating in a one game suspension. There are rumors out of Cleveland that the Browns might have been trying to trade the disgruntled tight end before the deadline, according to NFL.com. Browns GM Phil Savage said, "a number of calls are made ahead of the trade deadline regarding different players … those conversations are confidential in nature."

Our View:The Browns used a third round pick on tight end Martin Rucker in the 2008 draft and may look to move Winslow in the off-season. If he is moved the Browns would look to receive draft picks in return.
October 21, 2008
ESPN is reporting that Kellen Winslow Jr has been suspended for one game due to comments he made regarding the organization.

Our View:Many people around the team expected Winslow to just get fined, not suspended. With Winslow out for Week 8, Steve Heiden will move into the starting role.
October 20, 2008
Coach Romeo Crennel may discipline Kellen Winslow Jr for his comments made after Sunday's close loss to the Redskins, according to ESPN. Crennel said, "Sometimes the emotions of the game and the emotions of your personal situation kind of overflow. So I think he probably said some things that he didn't need to talk about to the media. We'll investigate it and determine if anything needs to be done. My policy is to keep family business in the family. So whatever I do, I do and I'm not going to broadcast it."

Our View:If Winslow is disciplined, it would likely be a monetary fine, and not a game suspension.
October 19, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr said on Sunday night that a staph infection was the illness that held him out of game time, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.Winslow feels like a "piece of meat" and expressed he was upset with Browns General Manager Phil Savage who didn't call him while he was in the Cleveland Clinic last week.

Our View:Earlier reports have said that it was Winslow's decision to not disclose the illness but he has said it was the team that wanted to keep it a secret.
October 17, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr practiced with the first team on Friday, according to the AP. He has said he wants to play on Sunday and this news seems to suggest that he will.

Our View:Winslow won't reveal what caused him to spend three nights at the Cleveland Clinic last week. He says it was the team's decision not to disclose the nature of the illness, and that he agrees with it. Winslow's pro career has been slowed by numerous injuries. He has undergone at least four surgeries on his right knee, which was seriously injured when he crashed his motorcycle in 2005.
October 17, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr was at practice on Friday and said he hoped to play on Sunday when the Browns face the Washington Redskins, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Our View:Winslow said it had been the Browns decision not to disclose his illness, which kept him out of last week's victory over the New York Giants on Monday night and forced him to miss nearly two weeks of practice. He said he agreed with the Browns decision and declined to disclose the nature of the illness. Although he has just one touchdown this season, he remains one of the top fantasy tight ends in the league.
October 16, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr has rejoined his teammates on Thursday though he has still not received permission to return to practice, according to the Associated Press. HC Romeo Crennel is hopeful that Winslow will be able to practice on Friday and play on Sunday.

Our View:Winslow had been hospitalized due to an issue with his testicles but it appears that he is doing much better now. He may still end up being a game-time decision, but if he suits up on Friday you can feel pretty good about his potential to play this weekend.
October 15, 2008
Coach Romeo Crennel stated that he is unsure if Kellen Winslow Jr will be available for Week 7, according to the Washington Post. Crennel said, "He's questionable. I'm hopeful he plays, but there's no guarantee." Winslow missed Week 6 due to an illness.

Our View:Winslow looks to be a game-time decision. The Browns were able to shoot down the Giants in Monday's big upset win, with backup tight end Steve Heiden filling in well in place of Winslow.
October 15, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr missed Week 6 due to an illness, but coach Romeo Crennel expects him back this weekend against Washington, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:If he is deemed ready to return, he should be penciled back into fantasy lineups, despite only scoring one touchdown so far this season. The Browns' offense looks to be back on track with Donte' Stallworth back in the mix, evidenced by Monday's big upset win over the Giants.
October 13, 2008
The inactives for Cleveland on Monday night are Kellen Winslow Jr, Ken Dorsey (3rd QB), Sean Jones, Hamza Abdullah, Kevin Shaffer, Scott Young, Martin Rucker, and Shaun Smith, according to NFL.com.

Our View:Winslow was in the hospital for three days, and was not expected to play tonight. He had an undisclosed illness.
October 12, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr was finally released from the hospital on Sunday afternoon but remains doubtful, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports.

Our View:You should plan to be without him, as Adam Schefter of the NFL Network has already reported that he won't play.
October 12, 2008
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports Kellen Winslow Jr has been downgraded to doubtful. Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reported earlier that Winslow is out for Monday night's game.

Our View:At this point, it would be almost shocking of Winslow did play.
October 12, 2008
Adam Schefter of NFL.com reports that Kellen Winslow Jr will not play on Monday night due to an undisclosed illness that has kept him in the hospital.

Our View:The actual illness still has not been specified publicly, but at least fantasy owners know to bench Winslow before Week 6 games begin. Steve Heiden will start in Winslow's place.
October 11, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is still in a Cleveland hospital, and he may be required to stay there for a third night, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Our View:Winslow is receiving antibiotics for the undisclosed illness. His chances of playing Monday are diminishing.
October 11, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr remains in a Cleveland hospital receiving antibiotics for an undisclosed illness, according to ProFootballTalk.com.

Our View:There have been some speculation regarding Winslow's illness, but the bottom line is he is very questionable for the team's Monday night game. Fantasy owners may want to find a replacement for the week.
October 10, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr was hospitalized because he has an extremely unfortunate condition affecting his groin area, according to ProFootballTalk.com.

Our View:This is a family site, so we'll be as non-vulgar as possible. Apparently, the issue is that his testicles have swelled up to what PFT calls, "the size of grapefruits." We'll go ahead and leave it at that.
October 10, 2008
Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr had to spend the night in a hospital due to an illness, according to the AP.

Our View:The nature of the illness is not known, nor is it known if Winslow will play on Monday when the Browns take on the Giants. But after missing practices and spending time in the hospital, it certainly doesn't look good.
October 9, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr sat out his second straight day of practice Thursday while dealing with an illness, according to the Browns' official website. Coach Romeo Crennel said, "We'll send him down, let the doctors look at him and they'll let us know. He's a valuable piece to this puzzle so if he's able to do something the next couple of days in practice then we'll let him do something, catch him up and get him ready. He'll want to play. We'll do everything we can to let him play."

Our View:He will have extra time to recover as the Browns don't battle the Giants until Monday night, but that could also potentially hurt fantasy owners if he is to be a game-time decision. The Giants' pass defense is ranked second in the NFL as well.
October 8, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr sat out Wednesday's practice with an unspecified illness. But he was at the facility and it's not believed to be anything that will keep him out of Monday's game, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:Winslow owners should not be worried about the tight end missing game time in Week 6.
September 29, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr was forced to go to the locker room after injuring his knee in Sunday's win over Cincinnati, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

Our View:He only exited briefly and was able to finish the game. The team has a bye this week which will give him more time to heal.
September 7, 2008
Cleveland's only touchdown pass in Week 1 against Dallas came on a Derek Anderson's 2-yard pass to Kellen Winslow Jr in the second quarter.

Our View:Arguably the two top fantasy tight ends when heads up on Sunday afternoon, with Winslow taking Week 1. Winslow has one less catch and 40 less yards, but he scored a touchdown giving him the slight edge in the head-to-head battle.
August 7, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. missed the team's first preseason game because of a sore hamstring, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:It was the first preseason contest, so Winslow missing the game was not altogether surprising. He should be back soon, as the injury is not thought to be serious.
August 2, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr did not practice yesterday because of a sore hamstring, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Our View:It is not a serious injury, and Winslow will be back in no time, which is good news for fantasy players who wish to enjoy the benefits of his vast receiving potential.
July 24, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is solely focused on football heading into training camp, and is putting his desire for a new contract on hold, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He said he does not want to be a distraction and added, "I left a lot on the field last year. I watched the film and saw things I could have done better. I probably could've caught 100 balls. Touchdowns, I only had five, so I can get a lot better in each category."

Our View:This is encouraging news, and his fantasy stock remains high as an elite fantasy tight end.
July 20, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr commented on the health of his right knee, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Winslow said, "I still have to rehab, but nothing's going to stop me from my dream. I'm ready. I think I've put in the time, the hard work, this season. My first year back, I couldn't run as much as I'd like. But last year I was in pretty good shape coming back to training camp and I think I'm in good shape now. I've had so many operations, I don't even remember what I had. But nothing's going to stop me from being ready for the season and stopping my dream."

Our View:He also wished that the season started tomorrow, and noted that the Browns have a lot to prove this season. He is in good spirits and his fantasy stock remains high as an elite tight end.
June 17, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr reportedly looked great through the Browns' last five practices of minicamp, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:So far, so good, regarding his surgically repaired knee.
June 12, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr wants a contract extension, and his agent Drew Rosenhaus said that things are going well, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I have had discussions with [GM] Phil Savage ... about Kellen's contract. Kellen has made it clear in the past what he would like to accomplish." Unfortunately, Savage doesn't share that optimism. "We don't have a lot of wiggle room right now ... I think we've let it be known kind of where we are."

Our View:This will likely drag on, but at least Winslow has been at practice and looking quite strong after off-season knee surgery.
June 11, 2008
Cleveland tight end Kellen Winslow stepped in for a few repetitions in team drills during the second day of mini-camp and immediately looked like the best player out there, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. On one play he got behind linebacker Kris Griffin and hauled in a Brady Quinn pass, sprinting 40 yards to the end zone.

Our View:We are beginning to think that Winslow, who is only three months removed from knee surgery, is a medical marvel. By some reports, Winslow has had five knee surgeries during his short career, yet he continues to perform well despite the adversity.
June 10, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr didn't participate in team drills Tuesday, but he reportedly bounced around nimbly in other portions of practice, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:It doesn't appear he will hold out, as this was the first day of a manadatory minicamp that goes through Thursday. But it remains to be determined if he will be ready for training camp, as he is still recovering from knee surgery in February.
June 10, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr will attend the Browns' mandatory three-day minicamp today, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. The Browns will hold two practices Tuesday and Wednesday and one on Thursday that will cap a month of off-season training activities.

Our View:His level of participation is unclear after he underwent a procedure to clean out his right knee following the Pro Bowl.
June 4, 2008
The Browns are in no hurry to sign often-injured tight end Kellen Winslow Jr to a new long-term deal, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. GM Phil Savage said, "We don't have a lot of wiggle room right now at this particular time. Only time will tell if it goes one direction or the other, but I think we've let it be known kind of where we are."

Our View:Savage also said he expects Winslow to show up for mandatory minicamp next Tuesday through Thursday. Winslow was absent for the four weeks of team OTA sessions, but Winslow's agent confirmed that Winslow was at home in San Diego rehabbing his scoped right knee, and also added that Winslow will report to minicamp.
May 27, 2008
Kellen Winslow missing voluntary workouts isn’t a big deal except that the Cleveland Browns keep saying they don’t know where the tight end is, as if they haven’t even been in touch with him. Per his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Winslow is rehabbing in San Diego will on hand for the Browns mandatory June mini-camp, according to the Dayton Daily News.

Our View:Winslow has made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that he wants his contract redone even though it has three years remaining and the Browns have been generous to a fault with him. It will be interesting to see if Winslow really attends the mandatory camp next month.
May 22, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is absent from the Browns' voluntary workouts, and the team does not know where he is, according to ProFootballTalk.com. Coach Romeo Crennel stated on Wednesday that the team hasn't heard from Winslow and does not know why he isn't in attendance. Agent Drew Rosenhaus says that Winslow is rehabbing his knee, which was the target of yet another surgery in the offseason. Rosenhaus also explains that Winslow, who several times commented on his desire for a new contract, will be attending all mandatory activities.

Our View:Winslow racked up 82 receptions for 1106 yards and five scores last season, and his numbers merit he is worthy of a new contract, but the team has concerns regarding his durability following another surgery on his battered knee.
May 18, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr wants a raise and he wants it now, according to a report on Cleveland.com. Winslow has three years left at about $12 million dollars on his current deal, one that pales in comparison to the 6-year, $42 million deal that Dallas Clark recently signed.

Our View:How about this. If you want more money, don't sign a contract that you feel is undervalued. Life in the NFL is different in that a player can be cut at any point, but really, would you want to give Winslow a new contract, even if his production warranted it given his propensity to be injured?
May 14, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr remained away from the Browns OTAs on Wednesday, and head coach Romeo Crennel didn't know if his absence was "health-related" or "non-health-related." Crennel says, "When he gets here we'll find out for sure what that is." Winslow had right knee surgery this offseason.

Our View:We have a difficult time believing Crennel doesn't know exactly why Winslow isn't participating. It could be the knee. It could be the contract. It could be that he simply doesn't want to. We're not terribly worried at this early point in the offseason.
May 12, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is not expected to attend the team OTA, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:Winslow's absence could be a sign of a contract dispute with the team. Winslow wants a new deal, but the team has concerns about his durability due to several surgeries on his right knee. The team drafted Martin Rucker out of Missouri, but he is not in the same class as the elite Winslow, and won't be a worthy replacement if Winslow is to leave Cleveland. Winslow racked up 82 receptions for 1106 yards and five touchdowns in 2007, and you cannot help but wonder what kind of numbers he would be putting up if he never suffered that motorcycle accident in 2005.
April 28, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr could be phased out of Cleveland, according to FanNation. He is awaiting a new contract, but the team has longevity issues about his durability, and made a surprise trade into the third round of the draft on Sunday, when they selected pass-catching tight end Martin Rucker of Missouri. Winslow had another surgical procedure on his right knee in February. That was at least the fourth surgery on the knee injured in his 2005 motorcycle accident. He also had surgery on a broken right fibula and torn ankle ligaments in 2004.

Our View:There have been conversations about a new contract, but nothing has been resolved. Rucker is not in the same class as the elite Winslow, and he would not be a worthy replacement if Winslow is sent out of town. With that said, Winslow can make an impact in another city, and his fantasy value is not hurt by this news.
March 31, 2008
A new contract for tight end Kellen Winslow is now on the Cleveland Browns’ radar, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This week at the NFL owners meetings, general manager Phil Savage will meet with Winslow's agent, Drew Rosenhaus to discuss a contract extension. Winslow, who made the 2007 Pro Bowl as an alternate, hired Rosenhaus last year in anticipation of a forthcoming contract extension.
March 26, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. is progressing on schedule in his rehab following knee surgery last month according to USA Today. The Cleveland Browns offseason strength and conditioning program began on March 17, and Winslow has been involved as much has he can be at this stage. It was reported earlier in the offseason that Winslow wanted a new contract, but all has been quiet on that front lately. Winslow has had his problematic right knee operated on five times in the past four seasons.
February 28, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr might want to renegotiate his contract with the Browns, but the club is in no hurry, according to a report on the Akron Beacon Journal. "Right now is not the right time to be talking about it because our focus is on other things," GM Phil Savage said. Not to take anything away from his value to our team. That's a question I guess everyone would ask, 'Why would you do something with three years remaining on a contract?" Wanna bet Winslow sulks at some point, threatens a holdout, and then reports bitter and angry to camp? Winslow will likely find that huge pay day he seeks, but he has to prove that he can withstand the rigors of the NFL without needing surgery every year for a team to invest in him long-term.
February 24, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he met with Browns GM Phil Savage and that talks are underway about re-negotiating his client's contract, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "We've had discussions," Rosenhaus said. Balancing Winslow's skill and determination with his vast injury history -- he just had his knee scoped this week -- could make for interesting discussions between the two sides in order to find an amicable agreement.
February 22, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr had his knee scoped this week and the team is hopeful he will be able to follow his off-season rehab process so that he will not be limited next season according to a report in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Winlsow has made some noise about wanting to restructure his contract, but the Browns really have little incentive to give a guy a long-term deal who has at least one surgery every off-season. Winslow can be fantasy gold at the TE position, but he still is injured frequently enough to lower his value slightly.
February 13, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is concerned his career might be shortened by repeated surgeries on his right knee, according to the Plain Dealer. In the article, reporter Tony Grossi speculates that Winslow wants a new contract because of the problematic right knee, which has been operated on four times during his four-year career.
February 10, 2008
Tight end Kellen Winslow Jr was interviewed by the NFL's Network Adam Schefter on the Pro Bowl pre-game show and apparently, the Hawaiian sun must be therapeutic for his ailing right knee, according to the Plain Dealer. Winslow revealed that he went surfing with a group called the Hawaiin Fire during the week. "It's not as easy as it looks,'' he said. During Super Bowl week, Winslow said he'll definitely need arthroscopic surgery on his knee in the off-season. But he said from the Pro Bowl that he'll have it looked at it again when he gets back to determine what to do. If the Browns front office can ink quarterback Derek Anderson to a long-term deal, Winslow become a virtual lock as a Top-5 fantasy tight end this summer.
February 8, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr told Sirius NFL Radio on Thursday that he wants to renegotiate his contract. "When I got hurt (in 2005), the contract got renegotiated, so some things changed, but I think I've proven these past two years that I'm one of the elite tight ends," Winslow told the Plain Dealer from Hawaii. "My value on the field, they put in an extra DB in the game, and that really changes the whole game. They have to guard me kind of like a wide receiver so, you know, yeah, gotta to get that new money." He's currently signed through 2010 and will make $4 million in 2008, $4.5 million in 2009 and $4.75 million in 2010.
February 5, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr will undergo another surgery on his right knee this offseason, according to the Akron Beacon-Journal. He could have had the operation shortly after the season finale, but he instead elected to wait, hoping to be named to the AFC's Pro Bowl team. Winslow received word Monday he would be replacing the injured Antonio Gates on the roster, and he still may play in the game. "I'm definitely going to have a surgery done on my knee," Winslow told WKNR radio last Friday. "My shoulder might be strong enough... I'm just really worried about my knee. Your legs are your life. I need my knee." Winslow had a terrific 2007 campaign, catching 82 balls for 1,106 yards and five scores.
February 4, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr will sub for San Diego's Antonio Gates in Sunday's Pro Bowl. Gates is bowing out of the game because of the toe injury he suffered in the playoffs.
February 2, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is slated to undergo surgery on his knee this offseason, though he doesn't expect to require a procedure on the shoulder he dislocated in Week 3, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I'm definitely going to have a surgery done on my knee," Winslow said. "My shoulder might be strong enough . . . I'm just really worried about my knee. Your legs are your life. I need my knee." Winslow has proved to be one of the toughest players in recent memory, so expect him to keep performing at a high level no matter what his condition.
