CLEVELAND (AP) -- Browns wide receiver Joe Jurevicius had his second knee surgery since January on Monday, a procedure that could prevent him from reporting to training camp on time.

Jurevicius had swelling and discomfort in his knee related to his first operation, and the club said in a statement released Tuesday that he had a further "clean out" on Monday to help him recover. The team said no determination has been made on Jurevicius' status for training camp, which opens July 23.

The 33-year-old had 50 catches for 614 yards and three touchdowns last season.

Probably the wheels are falling off. I don't see him as a major threat this season, and by next season he'll really start to feel his age. He's toast.

The old man wasn't a major threat in terms of home run potential, but was a reliable, sure handed posession guy.

If he isn't able to go, the clowns will have to rely on Joshua Cribbs as a reciever.
Cribbs has been an incredible return man for them, but as a WR his hands and route running are questionable. Plus every snap Cribb takes on offense, wears on his body and increases injury risk, possibly decreasing his value as a returner.
