Left guard recuperating from Nov. 2 injury

BEREA: Browns left guard Eric Steinbach was upbeat about his chances of playing Monday night in Buffalo, even though he said he suffered an ''oblique tear'' Nov. 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Steinbach sat out Thursday's 34-30 loss to the Denver Broncos, saying that ''was too quick of a turnaround to come back out there and try to play.''
He was replaced by Seth McKinney.
With coach Romeo Crennel giving the Browns off days Friday through Sunday, Steinbach said he felt much better after an upper-body weight-lifting session Monday.
''In one week's time, it has gotten a lot better,'' Steinbach said. ''That's what makes me feel pretty optimistic for the upcoming game in Buffalo. I'm going to take it a day at a time [and] keep doing my strengthening drills.''
He said that later this week he might be on the practice field testing the injury.
''That's the plan of attack right now. I like [how] I'm feeling right now,'' he said.
Steinbach said no surgery was needed, even in the offseason.
''If it's an ankle or a knee, you can do more treatment-wise and tape it,'' Steinbach said. ''With an oblique tear, that's all internal. The best thing is really time for that.''
Quinn goes home
Quarterback Brady Quinn used his weekend off to visit his family in suburban Columbus, but there was work involved. He said he helped move his grandmother back in with his parents.
Where's Braylon
As he gains experience, Quinn said he intends to get receiver Braylon Edwards more involved. Edwards caught one pass for 15 yards in Quinn's first NFL start against the Broncos, with another negated by Kellen Winslow's offensive pass interference penalty.
''They did some good things defensively to try to take him away,'' Quinn said of Edwards. ''And when we did have a couple things called, they happened to bring a couple pressures and things that negated us from being able to do that.''
When he made the change from starter Derek Anderson, Crennel said he expected the ''dynamic of the offense would change.'' Seventeen of Quinn's 23 completions and 169 of his 239 passing yards went to backs and tight ends, led by Winslow's 10 catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns.
''As you look back at what he did in college and where he came from, he used his backs and tight ends quite a bit,'' Crennel said of Quinn. ''I think those guys were open, so he used them more than going down the field. As he gets more experienced and anticipates more about what the defense is going to do, I think you will see him go down the field more.''
Brownies
Crennel was sketchy on injuries, but expects nose tackle Shaun Rogers (stinger) and tight end Darnell Dinkins (hamstring) to be ready for the Bills.
