The news on Browns' TE Kellen Winslow Jr seems to be getting worse. We
told you last night about the financial issues where Winslow could
potentially have to return some of his bonus money to the Browns for
violating his contract forbidding activities like motorcycle riding.
This morning, Clark Judge from CBS Sportsline is writing that the
Browns are concerned that Winslow may have torn the anterior cruciate
ligament in his right knee and be lost for the season.

Clipped from the Clark Judge article:
The Cleveland Browns are concerned that injuries suffered by Kellen
Winslow Jr. in a weekend motorcycle accident will prevent the
second-year tight end from playing this season, NFL sources said.
The primary problem, sources said, are potentially significant
injuries to the right knee and right shoulder -- with the club unable
to determine the extent of damage to either until swelling subsides.
The swelling in the knee was considerable, sources said, with the
Browns fearful Winslow may have torn his anterior cruciate ligament.
The club also suspects Winslow may have suffered ligament or tendon
damage to his shoulder, sources said.
In addition, sources said the Browns believe Winslow may have suffered
a punctured lung and an injury to his kidney, but that neither had the
club overly concerned. A source close to the club said the kidney was
bruised.

And the hits keep rolling. More bad news for Winslow and Browns fans.
We'll stay on top of it for you.
I've always operated this thing on a "You'll Know What We Know" basis
so I'll also pass along that I'm hearing UNCONFIRMED and OFF THE
RECORD comments that Winslow is injured more seriously than what is
being reported. Mr. Judge's article above fits right in line with what
I'm hearing. I have a source connected to the hospital that's saying
he's done for the year. Please understand, this is NOT confirmed. I'm
not saying he's done. I'm saying I have a friend who has connections
to doctors at the hospital that are saying he's done for this year.
You can take that for what it's worth. But I felt I wouldn't be doing
my job I've promised to do for you guys if I didn't pass along what
I'm hearing – even if it's not confirmed.
