Can Bentley pass Browns physical?

With Kellen Winslow apparently back in the fold, the biggest question today will be the future of center LeCharles Bentley. Bentley was scheduled to undergo a physical exam at Cleveland Clinic on Monday in hopes of resuming his comeback. Bentley has not practiced with the Browns since tearing a patella knee tendon on the first team drill of the 2006 training camp and then suffering complications from a staph infection. The Cleveland native has dedicated the past two years to returning to his hometown team. He has spent the majority of his rehabilitation time outside the medical auspices of the club under a unique agreement with the team. If Bentley does not pass the Browns' physical this year, it's possible the team and Bentley would negotiate a settlement, effectively ending his Cleveland career without him ever suiting up for more than one practice.

Boy I remember when the Eagles were FRIED in the local media for not signing this guy when he was a free agent, doesn't look like a bad decision now, does it?

According to the OBR, Bentley is just allowed to do individual drills and just stood on the sidelines today:

just another reason why free agency is so risky

I hope he can come back and live out his dream. Every player dreams of growing up and playing for their hometown team. Few get to do it.

Too bad he turned down the Browns' contract offer. He actually had the nerve to ask for a release after the Browns stood buy this guy during his recovery.

Go break a leg out there Bentley!!!
