BEREA: Browns tight end Kellen Winslow hinted Monday that he might need another surgery on his right knee, which was injured severely in a 2005 motorcycle accident.

The knee required microfracture surgery before the 2007 season. He was also cagey about his left shoulder, which he separated Sept. 23 at Oakland.

Winslow didn't miss a game this season and caught 82 passes for 1,106 yards, third on the Browns' single-season receiving yards list.

''You guys don't know what's going on with the knee,'' Winslow said. ''I'm not going to explain it. Just playing through pain, so I just have to get it looked at and see what I can do.

''I'm going to get my exit physical and we will see.''

As for his shoulder, Winslow said: ''I'm not going to say if I need surgery or I don't. You guys will know.''

The sixth overall pick in the 2004 draft, Winslow said he hopes to play in less pain next year, but added that even if that's not the case, ''I'm going to play anyway.''

He said his goal for 2008 is ''just to get healthy.''

One more year

Receiver Joe Jurevicius, 33, has two years left on the four-year contract he signed in March 2006, and the 10-year veteran thinks he can make it through at least one more.

''I'm going to give this thing one go-round, and probably hang them up,'' said Jurevicius, who grew up in Cleveland and attended Lake Catholic High School in Mentor. ''I think for sure I've got one more year. I want to get a taste of what I know we can do.''

Jurevicius has played in the Super Bowl with the New York Giants, Tampa Bay and Seattle. He has refused to talk about a knee problem that cost him practice time this season. He might think differently if he didn't like the Browns' turnaround from 4-12 to 10-6 this season.

''If we were 4-12 again, maybe we're having a different story,'' he said. ''But I know that this football team is going in the right direction. Everybody is focused. I can sit here today with a smile because we did things the right way. When things are done the right way, it pays big dividends. And it did that for us this year.''

Opponents set

In addition to the division schedule, the Browns will host Houston, Indianapolis, Denver, Dallas and the New York Giants in 2008 and visit Jacksonville, Tennessee, Buffalo, Philadelphia and Washington. Eight foes made the playoffs, counting Pittsburgh twice.

The NFL schedule will be released in the spring. Kickoff weekend begins Sept. 4. The season concludes Dec. 28.

Lewis wants to return

After becoming the only Browns running back to reach 1,300 yards in a season besides Jim Brown, Jamal Lewis believes he'll be playing in Cleveland next year. After spending seven years in Baltimore, he worked this year on a one-year contract.

Asked if he thought he would be with the Browns in 2008, Lewis said: ''Yeah, I feel like I will. I love this team. I love the coaches and the staff as a whole. It's a great organization and everybody pulls together. It's not like coming to work, it's like you're coming to be around your family every day, and I really appreciate that. That just makes people play better.''

Browns coach Romeo Crennel said he thinks keeping Lewis will come down to money. Lewis' agent probably will seek a multi-year deal for more than the $5 million he made this season (with incentives).

''I think the contract may be the issue there,'' Crennel said. ''I think Jamal enjoys playing here. I think that he enjoys the coaching staff and the offense. If it's right, I think he would like to be back. The two sides will have to get together and see what we can come up with.''

Cribbs' entourage

Joshua Cribbs will play in his first Pro Bowl on Feb. 10 in Honolulu, and the former Kent State quarterback said he was taking two coaches with him along with his wife, daughter, mother and father.

He will be playing to win, he said, because members of the winning team get $40,000.

Cribbs finished with 1,809 kickoff return yards, the second-most in NFL history behind MarTay Jenkins' 2,186 for Arizona in 2000. Cribbs became only the second player in league history to average 30 yards (30.7) on kickoff returns and 10 yards (13.5) on punt returns. He joined Terry Metcalf for St. Louis in 1974, who averaged 31.2 and 13.1, respectively.

Brownies

Defensive end Orpheus Roye was bothered by knee problems all season but said he won't require surgery. He said he'll train to get in better shape and hopes to return in '08. . . . Defensive lineman Shaun Smith said he hopes to attend Cleveland State to finish his degree in African-American studies. A South Carolina product, Smith said he needs four classes. . . . Crennel on possible staff changes: ''Not initially; we'll evaluate it during the next week.''
