Cleveland Browns' rookie tight end, Kellen Winslow II, will need a second surgery on his broken fibula Wednesday, according to an AP article on ESPN.com. The surgery will knock Winslow out for the rest of the season, instead of the eight to ten weeks that doctors had originally speculated.
Winslow was the first-round overall draft pick by the Browns in the 2004 National Football League draft. He was expected to bring more stability to the offense, along with giving newly acquired quarterback, Jeff Garcia, more weapons.
However, as it stands, Winslow is at risk of losing a lot more than playing time. As a clause in his six-year, $40 million contract he signed in August, he must play in 35 percent of the Cleveland Browns plays this year to acquire a $5.3 million one-time signing bonus.
Winslow is undergoing a second surgery in order to stabilize tendons and ligaments in his right leg. He is expected to make a full recovery and return in uniform for the 2005-2006 football season.
