After unstrapping ice bags from both swollen, aching knees, Trent Dilfer hobbled down the hallway and into Cleveland's locker room. Forcing a smile, the Browns' battered quarterback updated his medical condition.
"I'm walking," he said Monday, "which is good."
The Browns are moving, too. In reverse.
At times during Sunday's 24-6 loss at Minnesota, the Browns looked unorganized, undisciplined and unmotivated as a medley of mistakes sent them to one of their most lopsided losses -- one week after shutting out Miami 22-0.
"We took a huge step back," running back Reuben Droughns said. "We got pretty much demolished out there."

Droughns Arrested For Drunk Driving
Cleveland Browns running back Reuben Droughns was arrested and charged with drunken driving early Tuesday.
The State Highway Patrol said Droughns was pulled over at 1:09 a.m. after a trooper spotted the 27-year-old speeding and weaving in northbound traffic on U.S. 42 in suburban Cleveland.
Droughns failed a field sobriety test, and after agreeing to take a blood-alcohol test at the patrol's Medina post, he registered a 0.08 -- the state's legal limit.
He was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence and driving 50 mph in a 35-mph zone.
Droughns was released without bail and is scheduled to appear in Medina County Municipal Court on Friday. If convicted of the DUI charge, Droughns faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
