Braylon Edwards (1 Viewer)

Wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who underwent surgery to repair his ACL in January, isn't even on the injury report and said he has no limitations for the Browns' season opener. "We've jumped every hurdle," Edwards told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "So we're good to go."

Has the medical technology advanced for handling ACL tears over the past couple of years?

It also seems that WR's have a shorter timetable for this -- I seem to remember Jerry Rice coming back at the end of the season after a week 1 injury

The play that sticks out in my mind from Edwards' (short) season was that slant pass he took from Dilfer and then just ran away from everybody. Hopefully (for Edwards owners and Browns fans) that is a taste of things to come.

Does this mean he's starting week 1? I'd heard they were going to ease him back in.

BROWNS INSIDER Verdict still out on Edwards starting Tuesday, September 05, 2006Mary Kay CabotPlain Dealer Reporter Coach Romeo Crennel said he expects receiver Braylon Edwards to play "quite a bit" in Sunday's opener against the New Orleans Saints at Cleveland Browns Stadium, eight months after Edwards' surgery to repair a torn ACL. However, Crennel didn't promise that Edwards will start. "I've been talking to the players about having a role on the team," Crennel said. "The role changes from day to day and, in some cases, week to week. One week, I may be the star, but the next week the game plan might not allow me to be the star. Sometimes we get caught up in who's going to start. The thing that's important is how well they play. Braylon is going to play, no question about it. I think he's going to make plays in the game to help us win." Crennel declined to say who would start opposite Edwards, if he starts. Presumably, it would be Joe Jurevicius, with Dennis Northcutt joining them on third down. If Edwards doesn't start, Jurevicius and Northcutt will. "It depends on the role that we want [Edwards] to play," Crennel said. "I'm not ready to say today how we're going to do it because that will give some information away to our opponents."

Zac Jackson, of ClevelandBrowns.com, reports Cleveland Browns WR Braylon Edwards (knee) will start Week 1.

I don't expect much out of Edwards during the early part of the season, but I do think he'll come on as the weeks go by. Remember, this guy was THE hot rookie WR at the beginning of last season.

The recovery time for ACL surgery is usually about 8-9 months for WRs, so don't be surprised if he struggles until October.

The good news is, he's back and shown he can be a gamebreaker.The bad news is, the Browns aren't good. (which, can be a good thing for a WR)I doubt many people started him today, so in that way, the holding call doesn't matter for us owners.

How many targets at least?

He's had some drops in the first two games but his big-play ability sure is back. A 75-yard TD called back in Week 1 and yesterday he just missed a 71-yard score when he was brought down at the 1. The Browns don't have much going for them right now but Edwards looks pretty darn good. And if he's this good now it certainly bodes well for how good he may be in the second half of the season since I expect most people assumed he'd struggle in the early going coming back from his knee injury.
