Quinn's holdout continues; Patriots' Scott out for season
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Brady Quinn missed his fourth day of training camp Monday in a contract holdout that shows no signs of ending anytime soon for the first-round draft pick.
Quinn, who figures to compete for the starting job with Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson, has missed six practices so far.
Browns general manager Phil Savage has been in negotiations with Quinn's agent, Tom Condon, but the team said there was nothing new to report. Savage characterized talks with Condon as "in the same neighborhood, but not on the same street."
A four-year starter at Notre Dame, Quinn was expected to be taken in the first 10 picks in April's draft. However, he slipped to No. 22, where the Browns nabbed him after trading a first-round pick in 2008 to the Dallas Cowboys.
Condon and Quinn reportedly are seeking a contract in line with a top-10 selection.

Surgery for Lions' Stanton: Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Drew Stanton will have arthroscopic surgery to clean cartilage from his right knee, and could be out as long as a month.

Babineaux got tangled with wide receiver Ben Obomanu while leaping for a pass in the morning practice Sunday and then banged his right knee while skidding across the wet grass.
Coach Mike Holmgren said Monday that a scan on Babineaux's knee showed a bone bruise, and the player teammates call "Big Play Babs" wouldn't miss significant time.
Skins' Samuels hurts knee: Four-time Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels was carted off the field with a sprained MCL in his right knee during Washington's afternoon practice.
"I think I'm OK," Samuels said. "I didn't feel anything pop."
Samuels was hurt when another player feel on the leg during a play-action pass, and the surrounding players reacted with a collective "oooooh" as he went down.
"I thought it was over with for the season, but the good Lord blessed me -- I know that I'm fine," said Samuels, who sprained the same knee in 2003.
