ANDERSON STILL RECOVERING FROM CONCUSSION

Posted by Mike Florio on August 26, 2008, 10:52 p.m. EDT
Though the concussion that Browns quarterback Derek Anderson suffered eight days ago when he was flatted by Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora has been cahracterized as “mild,” Anderson has been absent from practice.
He made a brief appearance on Tuesday, with no indication as to when he’ll be able to participate fully in practice.
There have been rumblings that Anderson is experiencing sensitivity to light, which has relegated him primarily to inside work. It’s unknown whether Anderson tolerated his outdoor cameo.
Anderson won’t play in the preseason finale, giving Brady Quinn his second NFL start. It remains to be seen whether Anderson will be able to play come September 7, when the Cowboys come calling.

Anderson sees the sun; Edwards update

Aug 26th, 2008 @ 4:29 pm by Steve Doerschuk

Derek Anderson wound up on the field for part of today’s practice after all, but he didn’t do much, and went back inside without participating in team drills.

It was another very bright day, and sun glare is one of the worst things for a recovering concussion patient.

Romeo Crennel said he probably won’t play Anderson Thursday, and the way we read the coach, the reality is No. 3 won’t suit up.

Crennel clarified Braylon Edwards’ status after the star wideout missed another practice. He said he has been told Edwards will practice “sometime next week.” Practices will be conducted Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in advance of the Sept. 7 opener against Dallas. It’s safe to say that Edwards will face the Cowboys even if he doesn’t make it back out until the Friday session, and holds up well in that.

Crennel also sounded optimistic about Jamal Lewis returning from a hamstring issue. He said he has been told Lewis expects to practice Monday.

The Browns will face Chicago, though, without big guns Anderson, Edwards and Lewis.

The question of when Ryan Tucker can return remains fuzzy, based on today’s post-practice chat with Crennel.

seems they have some serious concerns as well.

this could linger.

I'm so tuned into the Cowboys that I thought it was talking about Deon!

 

[sago1]

I thought the article would be referring to Deon as well but I hadn't heard he got hurt. Anyway, glad to read it's not him. Hope Derek Anderson is okay. Want to beat the Browns with him as QB; don't want them to have any excuses.

I was wondering why PFT was reporting on Deon.

There goes my fantasy season. He is my starting QB, and Jeff Garcia is the back up :bang2:

Wow. It's got to be pretty bad if several days later he can't even stand sunlight.
