BEREA, Ohio Cleveland tight end Kellen Winslow will spend a second night in the hospital with an undisclosed illness that could keep him out of Monday night's game against the New York Giants.
Winslow was admitted to the Cleveland Clinic on Thursday. He practiced Monday but had been feeling ill for several days and the team sent him in for further tests.
Browns coach Romeo Crennel had expected Winslow, 25, to be discharged on Friday.
Citing patient privacy laws, Crennel did not provide specifics on Winslow's illness.
“His arms and legs aren't falling off or anything like that,” said Crennel, adding the Pro Bowler was questionable for Monday's game.
Crennel has spoken with Winslow, who has had four knee surgeries and has had to play through pain throughout most of his four-year NFL career.
“We all know he has had some injuries that he has had to deal with and he's played through them,” Crennel said. “We know that he'll be out there (Monday) if at all possible.”
Last season, Winslow had 82 receptions for 1,106 yards.
Panthers' Gross, Otah upgraded
Carolina Panthers offensive tackles Jordan Gross and Jeff Otah practiced, but were listed on the injury report as questionable for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. Gross (concussion) and Otah (sprained ankle) did not play last week against Kansas City and did not practice Wednesday, but were upgraded to limited participation Thursday and full participation Friday.
Coach John Fox said both would be a game-time decision, but it appears likely they'll play.
Safety Quinton Teal (ankle) and defensive tackle Darwin Walker (thigh) also were listed as questionable, but practiced. No players were declared out. Two players who didn't practice for the third straight day, receiver D.J. Hackett and center Ryan Kalil, were listed as doubtful.
Linebacker Na'il Diggs (foot) and quarterback Matt Moore (leg) participated fully and are listed as probable.
Elsewhere
ARIZONA: Strong safety Adrian Wilson has been fined $25,000 by the NFL for a hit on Buffalo quarterback Trent Edwards last Sunday. Wilson said Friday that league officials also put him on notice he may face heavier fines or a suspension for future incidents.
Wilson hit Edwards on the third play of last week's game. The hit was not helmet-to-helmet, but Edwards suffered a concussion and did not return to the game. No penalty was called on the play.
League officials decided that Wilson unnecessarily drove Edwards to the ground.
ATLANTA: The Falcons listed Roddy White as questionable for Sunday's game against Chicago after their top receiver missed a second straight practice. White, whose 454 yards receiving rank third in the league, was knocked out of Wednesday's practice after hitting his head in a collision with safety Lawyer Milloy.
DENVER: Former Broncos running back Travis Henry is to appear Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Billings, Mont., on cocaine trafficking charges. Henry, 30, was arrested with a co-defendant, James Mack, during an undercover drug deal on Sept.30 in the Denver area. Mack, 29, is to appear in Billings next Friday.
MIAMI:Ronnie Brown and two teammates were fined $10,000 each by the NFL for excessive celebrating.

N.Y. GIANTS: Middle linebacker Antonio Pierce plans to play against Cleveland on Monday despite missing two practices with a thigh injury.

Pro Bowl guard Shawn Andrews (back) and receiver Reggie Brown (groin) also won't play. Receiver Kevin Curtis is expected to see his first action this season after having surgery for a sports hernia.
