Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Browns have avoided this question for months now, which led some to think surgery was needed. But sources told ESPN.com's James Walker that surgery wasn't necessary and that Cleveland's decision to be secretive and evasive about injuries is simply a way of life under new HC Eric Mangini. ... Anderson, meanwhile, has been working out at the Browns' training facility in preparation for this summer's competition with Brady Quinn -- assuming both men remain with the team. Quinn's name continues to come up in trade rumors.
