And then there's center LeCharles Bentley.

Whispers inside the Browns' complex persist that Bentley's recovery from four knee surgeries is proceeding so well that he may be able to play at some point this season. Bentley is on the physically unable to perform list at least through six games, after which he could begin practicing with the team for the first time in 18 months.

Rehab sighting
Offensive lineman LeCharles Bentley was working with a trainer on his pass protection drops outside while the team practiced inside. Bentley, who tore a patellar tendon on the first full day of 2006 training camp, had a large brace on the knee.
Bentley began the year on the physically unable to perform list and is eligible to begin practicing next week. The Browns have a three-week window for him to return to practice, then another three-week window after he begins practicing to activate him or put him on the injured list for the season.

Cleveland Browns delay return to practice of center LeCharles Bentley

The Browns will wait at least another week before allowing center LeCharles Bentley to begin practicing with the team.
Bentley, recovering from a torn patella tendon and complications that required a total of four surgeries, was eligible to begin practicing this week under the rules of the physically unable to perform list. But the Browns have three weeks in which to open that practice window - and then another three weeks to evaluate him in practice before making a decision on whether to activate him, release him or place him on injured reserve.

Injury report
Crennel didn?t sound optimistic when asked if offensive lineman LeCharles Bentley would begin practicing this week. He was eligible to come off the physically unable to perform list last week, but the Browns can wait another two weeks to put him on the practice field.
?We?re evaluating that. I?m not going to say I?m going to do that yet,? Crennel said. ?He?s rehabbing. He?s not ready yet. He?s made progress from August. If he continues to make progress, that improves his chances.?

Bentley continues to rehab his injury and indications he is a ways off from actually seeing the field.
