Jurevicius had swelling and discomfort in his knee related to his first operation, and the club said in a statement released Tuesday that he had a further "clean out" on Monday to help him recover. The team said no determination has been made on Jurevicius' status for training camp, which opens July 23.

The 33-year-old had 50 catches for 614 yards and three touchdowns last season.

Following his first surgery, Jurevicius contracted a staph infection, the sixth Browns player in four years to get such an infection.

Jurevicius has two years remaining on a four-year contract he signed in 2006. The 10-year veteran, who has also played for the New York Giants, Tampa Bay and Seattle, returned to Cleveland to play for the team he grew up idolizing. He attended Lake Catholic High School in Mentor, Ohio.
