BEREA — When will the stitches come out? When will Braylon Edwards get it on the way he did before taking stitches to his right foot Saturday?
“Ask the chief that one,” quarterback Derek Anderson said after working without his Pro Bowl wideout for a third straight practice Monday.
Coach Romeo Crennel said, “We’ll get him back.” He wouldn’t say when.
The view culled from training camp rounds Monday had it that Edwards will miss the Aug. 18 game against the Giants and probably the Aug. 23 game at Detroit, but will be back in plenty of time for the Sept. 7 opener against Dallas.
“I’m not worried that he will not be back,” Crennel said. “They kept him overnight (in the hospital Saturday) to see if there was anything more than a cut. It’s nothing more than a cut.”
Crennel didn’t know the stitch count.
“It really doesn’t make any difference how many,” he said. “He’s going to be back.”
Fellow wideout Donté Stallworth stepped on Edwards foot after the latter had removed a shoe in Saturday’s practice.
“Hey, kids are kids,” said Crennel, 61. “We’ll educate ’em a little bit more, tell them about keeping your shoes on until you’re inside, and then take ’em off.
“Things like this ... you don’t want ’em to happen, you don’t like ’em to happen, but they happen. And so what can you do about it, other than try to educate ’em?”
Anderson alluded to a Monday phone conversation with Edwards when he said,
“He’s doing good. He’s obviously disappointed he’s gonna be home for a little bit. But he’ll be ready to go when he gets back.”
Anderson said he is prepared to work the offense with whomever is available.
“You have to,” Andersons said. “In this league, guys are up and down every week.”
Quarterback Brady Quinn sees Edwards as the type to hit the ground running, even if he sits out a while.
