The Cleveland Browns returned to the practice field in Berea to continue training camp after their first preseason game. The Browns took the victory from the Jacksonville Jaguars but have a lot of things they hoped to work on.
A lot of Cleveland’s key players sat out Friday night’s game including just a few with injuries.
Unfortunately, OL Nick Harris was hurt on the second snap of the game and the offense under QB Deshaun Watson struggled greatly. Saturday, HC Kevin Stefanski said it was likely Harris was out for the year.
Sunday, Stefanski informed the media that QB Jacoby Brissett would take over the majority of first-team snaps in place of Watson. The Browns still await the results of an appeal of Watson’s six-game suspension that could lead to him being out much longer.
A few injury updates and more on players missing Sunday’s practice:
No Harris Update
While everyone assumes that Harris will miss the rest of the season, Stefanski didn’t have an update Sunday afternoon:
#Browns Kevin Stefanski said no final word yet on whether C Nick Harris will need season-ending knee surgery

Myles Garrett Excused from Practice
Anything related to Cleveland’s star defensive end can raise an eyebrow. Sunday, as Tom Brady did for a couple of weeks, Garrett took a personal day away from the team. There was no immediate update as to what led to the excused absence but no reason to be concerned at this time:
#Browns DE Myles Garrett excused from practice today (personal).

Greg Newsome and Michael Woods II Have Hammy Issues
A continuation of the negatives from Sunday as CB Greg Newsome and WR Michael Woods II will miss practices this week:
CB Greg Newsome (hamstring) out a few days; WR Michael Woods II (hamstring) to remain out this week per #Browns HC Kevin Stefanski

Thankfully, the Browns have four weeks before their opener in Carolina. Plenty of time to get players healthy and, hopefully, keep the rest healthy.
