CLEVELAND -- Less than 48 hours after Kellen Winslow voiced his displeasure with the Cleveland Browns organization, the team opted to discipline their Pro Bowl tight end.
The Browns suspended Winslow for one game without pay following his comments after Sunday's 14-11 loss to the Washington Redskins. Winslow was unhappy with the way the team and Browns general manager Phil Savage publicly handled his staph infection and said he felt like "a piece of meat." As a result, Winslow will be held out of Sunday's road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3), costing him $235,294 -- his one-game paycheck. Winslow also will not be allowed to practice or attend meetings at the team's facility this week and cannot return until Monday.

"Kellen has expressed his desire to be a productive member of the Cleveland Browns,'' Browns general manager Phil Savage said in a statement. "His comments and behavior on Sunday evening, however, were unwarranted, inappropriate, and unnecessarily disparaging to our organization. His statements brought unjustified negative attention to our organization, and violated the team-first concept of our football squad. Therefore, disciplinary action will be taken in the form of a one-game suspension without pay for conduct detrimental to the club."

Winslow has a team-high 21 receptions for 187 yards and one touchdown this season. His case of staph was the sixth known infection with the Browns in the past few seasons.

Browns receivers Joe Jurevicius and Braylon Edwards are also two current members that recently had staph infections in what has become an increasingly hot topic in Cleveland this week.

"As an organization, we have worked hard to ensure the safety and well-being of our players,'' Savage said. "Consistent with this effort, we have consulted the team's medical experts to ensure that any instances of staph infections are evaluated and treated thoroughly and expeditiously, and in accordance with the recommended standard of care. Further, steps have been and continue to be taken on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis to protect our players and personnel at our training facility and stadium."
