PHILADELPHIA — Kellen Winslow made some blocks, caught a couple passes and took a few hits.

The highlight-reel catches and touchdown celebrations can wait. For now, this was progress.

Playing his first game in nearly two years, the Browns tight end made two catches in Cleveland's 20-7 preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday.

"It was really good to get back out there," said Winslow, whose career was stalled by an in-game leg injury and a motorcycle accident. "I just wanted to get tackled to get some confidence back."

Donovan McNabb looked sharp, and Jeff Garcia connected with Darnerien McCants on a 32-yard touchdown pass for the Eagles (1-1).

Former University of Hawai'i star Tim Chang, competing for the No. 3 spot with Koy Detmer, completed his only pass for 2 yards. He also rushed four times for 2 yards. Detmer didn't play.

McNabb completed his first five passes and finished 7 for 9 for 78 yards. He led the Eagles to a score on the opening drive and went to the sideline after the second series.

"We were able to execute when we needed to," McNabb said.

Garcia finished 8 for 11 for 125 yards and one TD.

Eager to get the season started, Winslow walked out to midfield in full uniform about two hours before kickoff while everyone else was still in warmups.

After blocking on the first two plays, Winslow caught a pass that was nullified by a defensive penalty on third down. He had a 6-yard reception on the following play, and added a 1-yard catch later.

"He made some plays and looked good making them," Browns coach Romeo Crennel said.
