Brown's: Complaints about Staph

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Browns center LeCharles Bentley was recently hospitalized following season-ending knee surgery with a staph infection, raising concerns of contamination at Cleveland's training facility.
Bentley's infection is the fifth known case of staph for a Browns player in the past three years, a disturbing pattern general manager Phil Savage described as "a staph infection outbreak."
Since 2003, linebacker Ben Taylor, wide receiver Braylon Edwards, safety Brian Russell and tight end Kellen Winslow had various strains of staph, a bacteria that enters the body through the skin and can cause larger health problems.
"There's something going on around here," said Winslow, who contracted staph following knee surgery after a motorcycle accident last year. "A lot of people have had it. They need to do something."
