Kellen Leaves Hospital Coach Crennel

A NewsChannel5 source close to the Winslow story said the motorcycle accident left Winslow with a broken tibia and femur, the large bone in his thigh. His ACL was damaged, possibly torn and there are lacerations on his liver and kidney.

Police are continuing to investigate the motorcycle crash, without cooperation from Winslow, who refuses to be interviewed.

As of now, no charges have been filed.

For the first time on Monday, head coach Romeo Crennel addressed the motorcycle accident and Winslow's condition.

Crennel said there was potential for "major" things to happen when an accident such as Winslow's happens.

"We feel good that he is making a good recovery, and for one that he is alive," he said. "He will be back with us, but we just don't know when that is going to be."

He added he isn't sure if Winslow will miss the entire season.
