More evidence of a season gone sideways
It’s shaping up as one of those seasons when everything that can possibly go wrong will.
The latest: Tight end Kellen Winslow will spend his second night in the hospital with an illness the team is saying very little about.
Profootballtalk.com, citing an anonymous league source, reports Winslow landed in the Cleveland Clinic because his testicles “swelled to the size of grapefruits.”
At a press conference, head coach Romeo Crenell tried to allay fears by saying it’s not like Winslow’s arms and legs are falling off.
Wouldn’t put it past Winslow to get out of the hospital bed and catch a couple of touchdown passes Monday night in a stunning win over the Giants, but considering the Browns’ luck this season, it’s probably not a good idea to count on it.
Concern here is for Winslow, obviously, especially as the Browns continue to be so tight-lipped, which only leads to speculation, which only leads to fearing the worst.
Winslow is listed as “questionable” on the injury report, meaning there’s a 50-50 chance he’d play. But that would seem optimistic now, so get ready to see more of Steve Heiden, who used to be pretty good when they threw to him, and Darnell Dinkins. Fourth-round draft choice Martin Rucker is not an option, apparently still recovering from minor knee surgery.
Winslow missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, then was hospitalized Thursday evening.
