Apparently the Cleveland Browns are suffering from a major jinx when Jurevicius becomes the sixth player in six years to contract a cumbersome staph infection after undergoing a knee surgery.

BestNFLblog.com got to know that Jurevicius was afflicted with the infection earlier on Friday but he is reported to be hospitalized and recuperating well without any known complications. After the seemingly risk-free knee operation recently, he acquired the infection but is now recovering well in the Cleveland Clinic. Still, fans should not be alarmed because Jurevicius is expected to participate in off-season team activities in May and the minicamp in the coming June.

To date, other Cleveland Browns players who contracted the very same sort of infection were center LeCharles Bentley, tight end Kellen Winslow, receiver Braylon Edwards, and former Browns safety Brian Russell and linebacker Ben Taylor.

In related news, Jurevicius is expected to stay with the Cleveland Browns for at least another season. The 33-year-old player has two years left on the lucrative four-year deal he signed previously in 2006.
