Winslow back with the Browns

It's maybe a little late in the week to for sure if tight end Kellen Winslow will play Sunday, but at least he's back at team facilities. From AP:
Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow has returned to the team, though he has not been cleared to practice after being hospitalized with an undisclosed illness.
Winslow was seen walking the hallway in the Browns' headquarters Thursday. Coach Romeo Crennel says the Pro Bowler might practice Friday as Cleveland continues preparing for Sunday's game in Washington.
Winslow fell ill last week and spent three nights in the Cleveland Clinic. He was discharged Sunday but was inactive for Cleveland's 35-14 upset of the New York Giants on Monday.
Now the real question becomes do the Browns actually need him on Sunday? The offense ticked against a stellar Giants defense and Steve Heiden is a much better run blocker.
Also, anyone else hear the Eagles inquired about sending the Browns a first-round draft pick for Winslow on Tuesday? While it's not a trade the team should make, it is interesting.
Also interesting is this column Patrick McManamon wrote today.
