The Facts:
The Redskins' trainers tended to a cut on Brunell's left elbow yesterday, giving him pills to take, cleaning the wound and trying to prevent infection. Joe Gibbs said the cut was "not a big deal," but the team is taking precautions to keep fluid from accumulating in the elbow joint.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Brunell, who set an NFL record with 22 straight completions against Houston on Sunday, missed almost all of the 2003 season, his last with Jacksonville, after surgery on the same elbow. Gibbs said there was no significant swelling or fluid in Brunell's throwing elbow. The team has had several cases of staph infection in recent years and have wrapped much of Brunell's arm, down to the thumb, to keep bacteria out. ... Brunell said he was not concerned that the cut would keep him from playing or would limit his performance.
