Griffin worked out and threw before the Browns loss to the Ravens on Thursday in Baltimore. He said it was not the first time he threw.Coach Pep [Hamilton] and a bunch of the guys have been helping me, staying after practice and throwing a little bit, Griffin said.Griffin will have another bone scan in the next week or two, after which he could be cleared to practice or even play. That would indicate the Browns might wait until after the bye week Dec. 4 to bring Griffin back, but, even if they do, his starting job is not guaranteed.That wont necessarily be given to him, Brown said. That will be Hues [coach Hue Jacksons] decision.I think hes getting closer, Jackson said. Until I can get him out there will I make a plan for him and know exactly what we want to do.

He is due a $750,000 roster bonus after this season that would keep him for the second season. Brown did not get into the teams long-term plans but did discuss Griffins short season.Durability obviously has been something thats followed him, Brown said. We talked about that in his press conference here opening up. Unfortunately (it) reared its head here again for him. We were all disappointed for him. He worked his tail off to understand the offense and to position himself to start for us, and he gets hurt after a few quarters of play. ' ' '
