Cleveland Browns 11/28/2006 9:36 AMThe Dayton Daily News reports Cleveland Browns WR Braylon Edwards apologized Monday for his Terrell Owens-style sideline outburst but said it came from a good place. "The biggest thing I was trying to do was show how passionate I was about the game," Edwards said. "We don't play chess. This isn't swimming. It takes a man to play this game, and you have to have passion." Edwards began screaming at teammates, including QB Charlie Frye, late in the third quarter of Sunday's 30-0 thrashing by the Cincinnati Bengals. He said his rage was not directed at Frye, despite how it looked. "I grabbed his jersey in reference to something else," said Edwards. "We'll keep that in-house, but my actions definitely were not against Charlie." Edwards, who would not talk after the game, apparently grabbed Frye by the shoulder to make a point about how the offensive line needed to do a better job of keeping the beleaguered quarterback's uniform clean.Read more
Cincinnati Bengals 11/28/2006 9:34 AMThe Dayton Daily News reports Bengals RB Chris Perry is expected to be placed on season-ending Injured Reserve after undergoing surgery Monday to repair the fractured fibula in his right leg.

Perry was injured on his only carry â a 10-yard run at 10:14 of the second quarter â in Cincinnati's 30-0 victory at Cleveland.Read more
