--QB Derek Anderson survived a week of speculation about his job and a very poor start to finish the game against the Bengals and win. Anderson had gone 4-for-10 for just 27 yards in the first half, then started the third quarter with a red-zone interception.
At that point, coach Romeo Crennel toyed with the idea of pulling Anderson for Brady Quinn, but he decided to give Anderson another chance.
"He took advantage of it and finished the game on a good note," Crennel said.
It would appear that it will take either a major injury or a significantly bad game for Anderson to lose his job.
--WR Donte Stallworth may return after the bye week. Stallworth has not played after pulling a quad muscle in pregame warm-ups prior to the opener.
Coach Romeo Crennel finally said that Stallworth's injury has been diagnosed as one that needs 2 1/2 to four weeks to heal. Stallworth was right at 2 1/2 weeks for Sunday's game.
His injury has raised eyebrows because it happened so unusually -- during warm-ups. Too, several Browns have played through pain, especially tight end Kellen Winslow and guard Eric Steinbach.
"If a guy is injured, he's injured," Crennel said.
