Newz Forum: FOOTBALL: Browns' Winslow hurt in motorcycle accident

Player's contract forbids riding a motorcycle

Kellon Winslow Jr. wants to be a great player. His actions off the field don't show this, though. In the most amazingly stupid non-competive injury since, well, Jason Williams' motorcycle accident several years ago, Mr Winslow wrecked his motorcycle. Daddy must be proud.

Browns tight end Kellen Winslow II sustained internal injuries and complained of chest pains after he was injured in a motorcycle accident, the team said Monday night.

A Browns source told ESPN.com that the team was "particularly concerned" about Winslow's right knee. The Browns confirmed his injuries aren't life-threatening.

Winslow was riding in a community college parking lot Sunday when he hit a curb at about 35 mph and was thrown from the motorcycle, Westlake police Lt. Ray Arcuri said.

... two league sources said Monday night that Winslow's contract includes language which is even more specific and limiting, and which expressly forbids riding a motorcycle. ..

Hes been released from the hospital now -

Winslow walked out of the Cleveland Clinic on metal crutches, putting no weight on his right leg. He wore a Cleveland Browns T-shirt and sweat pants. He smiled and gave a thumbs up. When asked how he was feeling, he said "good." Winslow left in a sport utility vehicle.
