Jake Delhomme will sit out practice again today with his ankle injury but hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game in Baltimore. CLEVELAND -- Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme will sit out today's practice with his ankle injury, but coach Eric Mangini is still "optimistic'' about his chances of playing Sunday in Baltimore.
"I don't really have a percentage for you but it gets better everyday,'' said Mangini. "He's further along than last week. He's doing everything he can. I feel comfortable with him taking the information and (playing) without reps.''
If Delhomme can't play, Seneca Wallace will start for the second straight week. Wallace threw a 65-yard TD pass to Josh Cribbs but also threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown in the 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Mangini said the following players will also sit out practice today: NT Shaun Rogers (ankle, hip), RG Shawn Lauvao (ankle), DE Robaire Smith (ankle).
