BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland's Gary Baxter tore patellar tendons in both knees while trying to break up a pass in the first half of Sunday's loss to Denver, a devastating injury for the cornerback and another big loss for the Browns.

Baxter will have surgery on Tuesday at the Cleveland Clinic to repair both knees, coach Romeo Crennel said during his Monday news conference. Crennel, who has been coaching for more than 35 years, said he has never seen an injury like Baxter's.

Crennel estimated that Baxter would be sidelined for at least one year.

Poor Romeo, the hits just keeep on coming!

I think Mike Doss being out for the season for the colts is critical and the left tackle lepsis for the broncos is critical.

Not good news for next year. I could see Romeo going after Asante to replace Baxter.
