CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns and Schwartz & Feinsod have released a joint statement on the absence of offensive lineman Jason Pinkston from training camp.

"Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Jason Pinkston has not been medically cleared to participate in football activities," the statement reads. "The team has been in communication with Jason and his representatives and will respect their wishes to not provide any further details at this time."

Head coach Mike Pettine said on Sunday that Pinkston was unavailable and "due to his circumstances I cannot comment on it any further. I want to give you more, but just given the circumstances, I can't. That's where we are with Jason."

Pettine said he did not know when Pinkston will be back, and when asked if Pinkston would be back, he responded, "Possibly."

Pinkston tweeted on Sunday about his absence.
