Jurevicius And Tucker to Start Camp On the PUP List

Appears that Jurevicius to Start Season on PUP List

It appears that wide out Joe Jurevicius is going to start 2008 on the PUP list. GM Phil Savage stated today on WTAM 1100am that Jurevicius is going to start the season on the list and will not be able to play in the first six games of the season. It has not been a very good offseason for the receiver, as he had an arthoscopic surgery in January, then had to have three surgeries to eradicate a staph infection that took place after the first surgery. The Browns do have Donte’ Stallworth to fall back on, but with depth an issue at some positions already, losing Jurevicius is not a good start to training camp next week.

Savage to Continue Cornerback Search After Vacation

Today’s Plain Dealer is reporting that the Browns are going to remain in the market for a backup veteran CB now that the July 4th holiday is over and GM Phil Savage is back at work next week.  The paper says that some groundwork has been laid, and that some of the teams that Savage is talking to want to gauge other positions on their team before making a deal.  Look for the team though to continue to look around and finally land a corner before the team gets deep into camp.

How Really Bad Off is Joe Jurevicius’ Knee?

The Browns have been worried for some time about the knee of Joe Jurevicius for some time, as he’s had a number of surgeries already this offseason.  Now the team is starting to wonder when their #2 wide out is going to able to take the field at all.  Their are rumors going around that Jurevicius is going to need microfracture surgery, which if that is the case, he probably is going to miss a large part or possibly the whole season.  The team is going to have to lean a lot more on newly acquired Donte’ Stallworth is Jurevicius misses a lot of time, as well as possibly Travis Wilson, who it’s being said may be on the bubble for even making the team this year.

Contract for Edwards Coming Before Winslow?

From: Pro Football Weekly

According to a source close to the club, Browns WR Braylon Edwards, who has only two years left on his contract, is in line ahead of TE Kellen Winslow when it comes to getting a new deal. Winslow, whose contract has been the source of offseason speculation, has three years left on his rookie deal.

Jurevicius Has Second Surgery on Knee

Things are not looking so hot when it comes to Browns WR Joe Jurevicius being ready to go for training camp July 23rd in Berea, Ohio.  The Browns second WR had further surgery on his knee Monday to clean it out.  It’s the second such knee surgery that he’s had this offseason, and reports say that the wide receiver has had ongoing swelling and discomfort in his knee.

The procedure for the receiver was done at the Cleveland Clinic. The Browns web site stated that no determination has been made on Joe’s status for training camp.  It was just at the last camp that Jurevicius was near mad that there were reports he wouldn’t be ready for camp, and it was in interviews with the media that he insisted he would be ready for camp.

Last season Jurevicius caught 50 passes for 614 yards and three touchdowns.  While he right now is the second WR in Cleveland, he knows his time is coming to be a backup, as the team went out and gave a big deal to WR Donte Stallworth, who will likely take Jurevicius’ place as the teams # 2 WR as long as he’s out of the lineup.
