A day after getting cleated while running in his socks, Browns receiver Braylon Edwards was released from the hospital.

Edwards wasn’t at practice on Sunday, and it might be wise to keep him away from the staph factory until the stitches are out and the wound is fully healed.

Then again, given that teammate Josh Cribbs used his own sweaty and grimy shirt to stop the bleeding of Braylon’s foot, the damage might already be done.

And while it’s humorous to poke fun about the whole staph infection thing when it comes to the Browns, we’ve heard from league sources that the Browns are deeply concerned about their inability to get control of the situation.

As well they should be.  If they don’t figure this thing out, someone eventually will have an outcome far worse than his NFL career coming to an end.
