Browns coach Romeo Crennel said today that five-year veteran outside linebacker Antwan Peek blew out his right knee in practice Wednesday.
Crennel said, ''It looks like the patellar tendon,'' an injury that also befell center LeCharles Bentley and cornerback Gary Baxter while they were with the Browns. Both are out of football.
Peek, who signed with the Browns as a free agent from the Houston Texans in 2007, was undergoing surgery this morning and will be placed on injured reserve, meaning he will be lost for the season.
Shantee Orr, a free agent signed in March and released in final roster cuts, returned to Cleveland today in time for practice.
''Shantee does know the system. He has some position versatility. We feel like he brings some value to us,'' Crennel said. ''It's fortunate Orr was still available. We didn't have to go get somebody new who was not familiar with our system and scheme. If there is a positive, that is a positive.''
Peek's injury will mean a more visible role for rookie Alex Hall, a seventh-round pick from Division II St. Augustine College in Raleigh, N.C. Hall was selected as the Browns' most outstanding rookie in training camp in a media vote.
Peek was running down the field and planted his foot when his knee injury occurred. Earlier this week, he was thrilled to be back on the field in full pads after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on the same knee July 31.
He played in 14 games and started four in 2007, when he also was plagued by knee and ankle problems. Last season, he recorded 24 tackles (12 solos) and tied for second on the team in sacks (four) and quarterback pressures (nine).
