The Facts:
In an interview Thursday morning with Cleveland radio station WTAM, GM Phil Savage said Jurevicius' most recent knee surgery performed on June 30 will cause him to miss extended time. If he is placed on the PUP list, Jurevicius will have to sit out the first six weeks of the regular season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Although the Browns are only confirming two surgeries, the procedure was at least the third performed on Jurevicius' knee in the past seven months after he contracted a staph infection following his initial surgery. "Obviously every time he's taken a step forward, it's been two steps back," Savage said. "So it's a bit up in the air right now. ... He's going to be looked at again obviously next week before we get started and probably will start on that PUP list." No real surprise there. The real question seems to be whether he'll make it back at all -- and who replaces him as the team's No. 3 receiver (an item addressed in
Sunday's Fantasy Notebook).
