The Browns have placed center LeCharles Bentley on the Physically Unable to Perform list, meaning he'll miss at least the first six weeks of the regular season.

Bentley signed a free-agent contract with the Browns in 2006 but suffered a torn patellar tendon during the first practice of training camp last year and still hasn't played a down in Cleveland.

As Jeff Walcoff writes on the Browns' official web site, Bentley can, by rule, attend team meetings and continue to rehab his knee at the Browns' facilities, but he can't practice or play for the Browns until at least Week 7.

After Week Six, the Browns a three-week window within which to allow Bentley to start practicing. Once Bentley has taken the practice field, the Browns have three more weeks to let him practice before they have to decide his roster status for the rest of the season.
