CLEVELAND -- The Browns will let D'Qwell Jackson's right pectoral injury "settle down'' for a few weeks and then the team will re-evaluate him, coach Eric Mangini said.

The early prognosis on Jackson is that he'll be out about 4-8 weeks, but he's getting a second opinion from his New York surgeon, Dr. Frank Cordasco, a source told the Plain Dealer on Wednesday.

In other Browns news:

* Cornerback Eric Wright might return to the practice field tonight, and if so, could play Saturday night in Green Bay. Cornerback Brandon McDonald (ankle) returned this morning and is expected to play.

* Punter Dave Zastudil returned to Berea after having his surgically-repaired right knee re-checked in Colorado, but will also rest it for a few weeks before the Browns re-evaluate it.

* Mangini said he's still hopeful that rookie running back Montario Hardesty (knee) will be back next week, the final week of camp.

* Mangini said he's been pleased with the receivers, citing a fine TD catch by Brian Robiskie earlier in the week and another one-handed grab in the end zone by Chansi Stuckey on Tuesday.

* Rookie Joe Haden broke up a pass over the middle from Jake Delhomme to Mohamed Massaquoi in a two-minute drill.

* Tight end Alex Smith  beat double-coverage on a post-route to catch a fine pass from rookie Colt McCoy.

* Guard Floyd Womack left the practice field a little early and finished up on the bike. Right tackle John St. Clair was carted off, but cramped up and should be fine. Right tackle Tony Pashos is recovering from a shoulder injury and probably won't play in Green Bay.
