Wow.

Browns center Bentley hurts knee first day of campESPN.com news services

Bentley
BEREA, Ohio -- Pro Bowl center LeCharles Bentley sustained an injury to his left knee during the Browns' first 11-on-11 drill of training camp on Thursday.

Bentley got tangled in a pile of players as he was blocking on a running play for Reuben Droughns.

Bentley screamed, "No," before remaining on his knees as the Browns moved their scrimmage up the field so trainers could attend to the 6-foot-2, 309-pound player.

He stayed on the ground in a seated position for several minutes before Cleveland's medical staff immobilized his left knee and carted him to the locker room.

Bentley covered his face with a towel on the short drive to the field house as Browns players and fans looked on in shock.

The extent of Bentley's injury is not yet known.

Bentley, a five-year veteran, signed as a free agent with the Browns in March.

I don't wish injury on him, but at the same time, I can't say that makes me sad.

I thought we had bad luck, the Browns can't catch a break

its a shame but i dont know how to feel about this. I really liked Bentley as a Saint and i would have loved to keep him, but this news did bring a small level of joy to me...but it is sad...no really.

I think we can trade them Faine for next years number 1 and Braylon Edwards. : )

Hearsay.....

A source close to Browns center LeCharles Bentley said that it appears Bentley has suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee and will be lost for the season.

The Browns have not confirmed the injury and Bentley is still at the Cleveland Clinic.

Browns GM Phil Savage will address the media before the 5:30 practice.

Bentley was injured during a team drill in Thursday's morning practice at Berea.

Wow, this entire off-season is turning out like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry always broke even.

As much as I hate seeing LeCharles in a Browns jersey I hate seeing him get hurt. He was my favourite player on the team (myself being an OT). And I feel yo should never wish bad luck on anyone else just good luck for yourself.
