Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme is iffy for Sunday's home opener with a right ankle injury.CLEVELAND -- Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme will sit out practice today with a right ankle injury suffered Sunday against the Bucs. He's "day-to-day'' for Sunday's home opener against Kansas City.
Delhomme wore a walking boot on Tuesday, a source said. He also underwent a MRI, results of which were not revealed.
Browns coach Eric Mangini said Delhomme "is getting better'' but that he's still sore. "He's a pretty tough guy,'' said Mangini, adding that he's had players return from ankle injuries by the next game.
He said he'll make his decision at the end of the week. He did not say whether or not he'll announce his decision. "It just depends on how the week goes,'' Mangini said.
Mangini said he felt comfortable with keeping Delhomme in the Bucs game based on all the information he received during the game. He said sometimes you know more after the game.
The injury occurred at the end of the first half on a Delhomme interception that killed the Browns' momentum. He limped and grimaced, but played the entire second half, completing only 9-of-19 attempts and throwing another interception.
Seneca Wallace, who will take the first-team reps today, will get the start if Delhomme can't play.
