Like a kick, square in the junk

Browns cornerback Daven Holly sustained what is being referred to as a "serious" knee injury at practice Tuesday. While the coaches said Holly was competing with Brandon McDonald for the second starting cornerback spot, I imagine it was his job to lose in camp.
This is the one position where the Browns can't afford to get hit at. More on this as it develops, but hopefully nothing is torn.
UPDATE: Well, shucks. Holly is out for the year. Not good. The spin: Hey, if you like high-scoring games, watch the Browns this year!
There's a good bit of information in the link directly above this paragraph. A few things of note:
-The injury to Holly took place in a collision with Braylon Edwards, who is now suffering from a hip pointer as a result.
-Rex Hadnot has assumed Ryan Tucker's starting spot at right guard and backup Isaac Sowells will shift from guard to tackle to be the third stringer (a spot held by Tucker).

All just a great ploy for Gary Baxter to make a dominant return, replacement knees and all.

You know, every time something comes up with a cornerback, I think of Baxter.
Bodden was traded? Gary Baxter must be coming back!
They didn't draft a corner? Now Gary Baxter must be coming back!
Daven Holly is not only being considered a starter, but is hurt? Even Gary Baxter would be an upgrade over this!

I don't know if it's the Cleveland media, or the Browns PR, but I still think both Baxter and Bentley have not only a shot to come back, but to become All Pro's. I fail to remember the guy was immobilized for over two months at the Cleveland Clinic after the surgery, but no seriously Gary Baxter is coming back, didn't you hear?!
