Browns general manager Phil Savage said Thursday that WR Joe Jurevicius is likely to be placed on the PUP list at the beginning of training camp as he recovers from a fourth surgery on his injured right knee. If Jurevicius is on the PUP list at the beginning of the regular season, he will have to sit out the first six games.

"It's been pretty frustrating for everybody because this started as an innocent knee scope back in January, and it's morphed itself into multiple procedures," Savage told Cleveland radio station WTAM on Thursday, according to ESPN.com. "Obviously every time he's taken a step forward, it's been two steps back. So it's a bit up in the air right now ... He's going to be looked at again obviously next week before we get started and probably will start on that PUP list."

With Jurevicius out, the Browns will turn to several other candidates to fill his No. 3 receiver role. Third-year pro Travis Wilson is believed to have the best shot at the job, but veterans Joshua Cribbs and Kevin Kasper are also in the mix.
