There hasn’t been much news regarding the status of the sliced and diced foot of Browns receiver Braylon Edwards.

And, given the proliferation of staph infections among members of the team, no news really is good news.

Still, Edwards will miss the second and third preseason games due to the injury.  Since starters usually play sparingly in the preseason finale, there’s a good chance Edwards won’t return to action until the regular-season opener against the Cowboys.

It remains to be seen whether Edwards’ absence impacts his ability to connect with quarterback Derek Anderson once the real games start.

Steve Sanders and Travis Wilson are vying to start in Edwards’ place.
