RVJ Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 He is suppose to be out 8-12. I read that Winslow broke his and it says 6-8 weeks CLEVELAND (AP) -- Kellen Winslow Jr. broke his right leg during the Cleveland Browns' loss against Dallas and is expected to miss a major portion of his rookie season. The Browns said Monday that the tight end has a broken fibula. Typically, the injury will sideline a player for six to eight weeks. Browns coach Butch Davis was to talk about Winslow's injury during his afternoon news conference. Winslow wasn't the only significant player hurt for the Browns: Two other first-round draft picks were injured in Sunday's 19-12 loss to the Cowboys.

Ray Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 It depends where along the bone you fracture it. The fibula is essentially a non-weight bearing bone. Losman fractured it closer to the ankle joint which makes it more complicated--any fracture close to or involving a joint is more complicated because it involves insertion and attachment sites of ligaments and tendons as well. A simple fracture of the fibula in the middle of the bone is much less complicated and should only take around 6 weeks to heal--if that is all Losman had he would be back in like three weeks time from now. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.
TracyLee Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 So Losman should be back in 5-9 weeks? Isn't he ahead of schedule too? Is it unrealistic to have him playing 4 weeks from now? How many weeks has it been? 3 or 4?
Albany,n.y. Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 I heard Winslow was out up to 12 weeks & may even be IRd
