Bentley leaves hospital

By Alfred Johnson

Center LeCharles Bentley, whose opening season with Cleveland ended last summer with a knee injury that threatened his life and NFL career, plans to play for the Browns for the upcoming football season.

Bentley said Sunday that he'll report to training camp in a few weeks and that his goal is to be ready for the opening on Sept. 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"It's unbelievable how far I've come in the last few months," Bentley said in a phone interview from Arizona. "I feel so blessed to even be in a position to think about playing again. I've come so far. I'm not going to stop now." Bentley expects to be on the field for the Browns' first full workout on July 27.

The doctors considered amputating the 27 years old player leg due to serious infection. ‘’At one point, I was so sick they weren't sure I was going to live through the night," Bentley said. Following that procedure, New York Giants team physician Dr. Russell Warren, advised Bentley to begin thinking about life without football.

But Bentley, who signed a six-year, $36 million free agent contract with the Browns to play for his hometown team, wasn't nearly ready to give up. His unexpected return is terrific news for the rebuilding Browns, who didn't think they'd have him this season.

"I'm sure people still don't know if I'll be back, and it's still probably going to be a little wait and see," he said. "But if I play one more snap, that's one more snap than a lot of people ever thought I'd play. "People are quick to want to kill a dream. But a lot of work and a lot of prayers later I'm ready to play again. I've been blessed."
