Dilfer took some snaps with Cleveland's first-team offense. On Wednesday, Dilfer watched as rookie backup Charlie Frye worked exclusively with the starters.

During the brief period practice was open to the media, Dilfer did not run wind sprints with his teammates. The team said he took part in all other aspects of the workout, but didn't specify how much.

Coach Romeo Crennel said if Dilfer can't play that he won't be hesitant to give Frye his first career start.

"I've got two choices, and they've both been getting work all year," Crennel said. "I've got confidence in both of them. The backup's job is to prepare like he's going to play, so I think that's what Charlie's doing. If he gets the start, I think he'll take it and run with it."

Two weeks ago, Frye played in three series in a win over Miami. Last week, he threw an interception and was pulled after just one play by Crennel in a loss at Minnesota.
