He could be back as soon as next week.
Jake Delhomme hurt his ankle in the season opener against Tampa Bay.BEREA, Ohio -- The injury to Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme is a high ankle sprain, a league source confirmed.
Recovery time for a high ankle sprain usually is four to six weeks, but quarterbacks have been known to come back as soon as two weeks because they're not subjected to as much sprinting and cutting as other positions.
Coach Eric Mangini didn't address the specifics of Delhomme's injury today, but said he's "progressing."
Delhomme hasn't practiced since suffering the injury in the season opener against Tampa Bay on Sept. 12.
