Browns wide receiver Josh Cribbs (concussion) sat out today's practice with his concussion and safety T.J. Ward was idle after undergoing surgery to repair his broken right thumb a couple of days ago.
The two were among six players sitting out practice today in preparation for Sunday's game against the Giants, and all are day-to-day.
"(Ward had) the same procedure (Ray Ventrone) had and he's back,'' said Shurmur.
Ventrone, who plays primarily on special teams, had a plate and six screws inserted in his left thumb after breaking on the opening kickoff against the Eagles in the opener. He sat out the following week against the Bengals, but was back in week three against the Bills, wearing a cast on his hand.
"It's pretty similar,'' said Ventrone. "It is kind of weird. He's tough and he has longer than I did between games. He's got an extra few days. It was about a week before I practiced. Hopefully he's able to go.''
