Steinbach leaves Browns practice with sprained knee

Berea, OH (Sports Network) - Cleveland Browns guard Eric Steinbach left prac
Steinbach, 27, was the Browns' big free-agent splash this offseason, signing a seven-year, $49.5 million dollar contract with Cleveland. He limped off the field after falling on his knee in the team's morning practice next to a team trainer. Tests, including an MRI, have yet to be performed, but Browns head coach Romeo Crennel guessed that the injury was just a bruise.
Steinbach spent his first four NFL seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, starting 62 of the 63 games he has played. He has worked mostly at guard in the NFL, but has also spent time at tackle and center.
The Bengals selected the Iowa product with the first pick of the second round in the 2003 NFL Draft. He has twice been named a Pro Bowl alternate.
Also absent from practice on Wednesday was veteran linebacker Willie McGinest, who flew to Los Angeles on Tuesday to have a doctor reevaluate his back, which has limited his activity in camp.
