From Cleveland. com.....

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- There’s something to be said about a team that hasn’t been there before acting like they haven’t been there before.

The Browns had almost an entire roster in attendance for Wednesday’s second practice of OTAs, a voluntary session, just like everything else leading up to the three-day mandatory minicamp in the middle of June. The only significant players missing were tight end David Njoku, defensive end Myles Garrett, left guard Joel Bitonio and, obviously, quarterback Baker Mayfield.

 

Njoku is staying away until an extension gets done, Garrett will be just fine (and has attended other voluntary sessions) and Bitonio just spent the weekend in the Bahamas with many of his offensive teammates and any parent of two, like Bitonio, knows there’s a give-and-take at home when you get away to the Bahamas for a weekend with your buddies. (OK, that last part is unconfirmed, but Bitonio, like Garrett, will be fine.)........

.......then lots more plus.......

There is also the football side to this, one at this moment occurring the day after those HBO interviews and with the lawyers on each side of the case sniping at each other via local sports talk radio.

The reason the Browns were willing to take all this on -- the football side is really good. Watson looks the part of an elite quarterback.

During a 7-on-7 third-down drill, Watson converted four of his first five throws for first downs, including a deep ball to tight end Miller Forristall down the right side, a bullet to wide receiver Anthony Schwartz, and two throws to tight end Harrison Bryant, one on the move and another bullet to the third-year tight end.

The one incompletion was a deep throw on the left side to wide receiver Jakeem Grant. (As an aside, Grant, in an interview with cleveland.com, was quick to agree he was interfered with on the play.)....... continued........

Just another look at the OTA schedule, June 14-16 is getting near !   :o

For now, here's when players will be back in Cleveland for workouts:

 A mandatory minicamp will also take place during Phase *Three, which will likely be the first time the Browns' full 2022 roster is all together at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus.

First Day: April 19

OTA Offseason Workouts: May 24-26, May 31-June 2, *June 6-9

Mandatory Minicamp:  June 14-16.

We are getting closer to NFL preseason football !       🏈

Edit/merge of Mandatory Camp notes added too..

here's a few, on many Browns fans list.. 

1. The Browns' mandatory mini-camp officially begins Tuesday, starting with a practice at Cross-Country Mortgage Campus. That'll be the only team practice in Berea this week, though, with a trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame planned Wednesday and a practice at FirstEnergy Stadium scheduled Thursday.

After that, it's a six-week hiatus until training camp begins. 

2. Baker Mayfield-- still on roster, yet excused from Mandatory Camp with over 18M left on his contract..Yet again, the Browns still have the most cap room by almost his contract number over the 2nd place cap team in Carolina..https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space/

3. Browns staff of paid 'in the knows' stand by... 'they like what they have'? 88 of 90 is all they have on roster...stay tuned..

Day 1 of Mandatory Camp updates are welcome... Go Browns !

Browns cornerback Denzel Ward leaves final minicamp practice with injury

https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2022/06/browns-cornerback-denzel-ward-leaves-final-minicamp-practice-with-injury.html

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns wrapped up their offseason program on Thursday at FirstEnergy Stadium, but they didn’t escape entirely unscathed. Cornerback Denzel Ward left practice and didn’t return.

Ward sat on the bench on the south side of the stadium after the injury with his shoe off while a trainer looked at the injury. He walked gingerly to the locker room under his own power.

“No update,” coach Kevin Stefanski said after practice.

“I don’t have enough details to say yet,” Stefanski said. “We will update you.” (D.Ward)

Greedy Williams, the third cornerback, didn’t practice during minicamp with an undisclosed injury. He rode the stationary bike and worked on the side. (Jack Conklin/Jakeem Grant/

Without Ward and Williams..

starter Greg Newsome II was joined by A.J. Green and rookie third-round pick Martin Emerson Jr. in the first-team nickel package.

K Cade York signs rookie deal..

Fans welcome back to training camp..

According to a new report, Ward dodged any significant foot injury and should be ready for training camp:

An MRI and X-ray on the left foot which Ward injured during Thursday’s practice inside First Energy Stadium showed no structural damage, a league source confirmed to the Beacon Journal. He is expected to be available once training camp starts July 27.

The good news continued with Williams’ injury:

Greedy Williams spent much of the three days working with a trainer off to the side as he recovers from what is, per reports, a sprained ankle that also isn’t expected to be a long-term issue.

Just what is it with the Browns and constantly injured DBs? Snakebit for sure.

Important to understand overall NFL injury rates by position

DB's [barely] at the top of expectation of injuries by position - slightly higher than LB's to have a player expected to be out for 1-4 games.

Denzel Ward

Greedy Williams -- note that his only injury so far as a professional is the shoulder; nothing foot/ankle/leg related.

 

I propose the real question should be what a player's expected injury rate is.. and that number is zero only for QB/punter/kicker and maybe OL. 

They're not snakebit if they experience a normal amount of injuries over the course of a season..

I'm sure putting a basketball hoop on the field will help stop rolled ankles...

Is that good football training protocol,  hoops as workout or downtime activity  ?

Maybe some motorcycle training to go along with it.   Oh brother.   Yeah remember what's his name KW with the parking lot motorcycle stunts.  I wonder what he's up to now ?   

Hey the BROWNS need some good luck now.

Dude, Kellen Winslow Jr... I believe last I saw of him he was going to prison for some of the craziest stuff. I still can't believe it.

Easy like Sunday Morning 🏈

Now just 10 days away from the 2022 Browns Training Camp gates opening..images.jpg.8e979d08ca5ff095e767cee01dc07f0a.jpg  Oh My 🧡🤎.. What a off-season it has been !

A few off season Updates as of this July 17th..

#1.) QB Deshaun Watson's playing status in 2022?

2.) The Browns roster sits at 87 players, of a possible 90 players as of today    https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/team/players-roster/

3.) Yes/ Perrion Winfrey, still remains the last browns 2022 draftee to sign his rookie deal.. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/draft/ he's far from the only..

4.) What a transaction action off season it has been... Strolling down to the unsigned FA's?  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/ Teams should still see some talent they could add... 

5.) Last in news updates..

While Andrew Berry became the hated contract cap GM target head 🤭.. Overall, he's paid D. Watson only behind... P.Mahomes & Josh Allen.. and par four the course..still leads all teams in cap space available,,, by a somewhat wide margin https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space

 

ending with my fan side note.. I'm nowhere near projecting what record or what to expect from this Browns football season 🤓... and that's new in my Browns fandom..

Go Browns !
