Winslow Released From Hospital

Cleveland Brown tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was released from the hospital Tuesday, nine days after a motorcycle accident left him with internal injuries and a damaged right knee.

Winslow walked out of the Cleveland Clinic on metal crutches, putting no weight on his right leg.

The Browns have not updated Winslow’s status since releasing a statement May 4 that said they were concerned about his knee. Winslow was injured May 1 when he went flying over the handlebars at 35 mph.
