Sunday Practice: Newsome, Woods out, Garrett misses, no Harris update

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:

While everyone assumes that Harris will miss the rest of the season, Stefanski didn’t have an update Sunday afternoon:

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:

A continuation of the negatives from Sunday as CB Greg Newsome and WR Michael Woods II will miss practices this week:

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