- Cleveland Browns Training Camp Recap: Day 14 – The big week ahead (Chris Pokorny) – “Day 14 of Cleveland Browns training camp took place Monday, August 17. It’s a big week ahead in the quarterback competition.”
- Browns have mixed bag of reps on offense across positions in first preseason game (Chris Pokorny) – “This offseason, the wide receiver position has been the talk of camp for its performance, which contrasts heavily from a year ago. That continued into the first preseason game. As for the quarterback performances? It was certainly mixed, but a turnover from each quarterback didn’t help matters.”
- Browns’ lack of defensive depth pretty glaring in first preseason game loss (Chris Pokorny) – “I still feel pretty confident in the Browns’ defense for the regular season. We’ve heard about the piling up of injuries in the secondary, though, throughout camp. When the preseason game happened, the depth after the first couple of units was pretty bad in some aspects.”
- Za’Darius Smith free agency update: Could spurn Browns for former coach (Jared Mueller) – “Sunday afternoon, we covered a report that former Cleveland Browns DE Za’Darius Smith was expected to rejoin the team after a visit to Berea. Smith seemed a bit confused by that report, as he commented on social media that he had another workout lined up with another team before deleting that comment. Now we know which team that was.”
- Browns rookie Spencer Fano gets love from national analyst after 1st preseason game (Jared Mueller) – “While the headlines are almost always about the quarterbacks, the meat and potatoes of a good team is almost always about the offensive and defensive lines as well as that team’s first-round picks. In OT Spencer Fano, the Cleveland Browns have both to evaluate this season. Can the first offensive lineman taken in the 2026 NFL draft solidify Cleveland’s left tackle position as a rookie?”
- Browns vs Bears went worse than expected for Cleveland (Jared Mueller) – “The Cleveland Browns loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 1 of the 2026 preseason was meaningless, at least as meaningless as any game can be that could impact the starting quarterback for the upcoming season. The Browns had some positives and some negatives against the Bears, but questions remain at a variety of positions besides just quarterback.”
- Browns to showcase new stadium through Browns Experience Center (Thomas Moore) – “The Cleveland Browns will close their era on the shores of Lake Erie following the conclusion of the 2028 season and then head to the suburb of Brook Park to play in their new stadium in 2029. But fans won’t have to wait three more years to see what the team has in store for them after the franchise opened the Browns Experience Center on Monday in Berea.”

- How KC Concepcion showed his versatility for Browns in preseason opener (Beacon Journal) – “There was a better way Browns rookie KC Concepcion could’ve scripted his first NFL game than the way it went for him in the preseason opener at the Chicago Bears.”
- Shedeur Sanders will get the chance he deserves this week, and it’s up to him to capitalize (Browns Zone) – “Shedeur Sanders needs a fantastic week if he’s going to win the starting quarterback job. Or at least extend the competition. Coach Todd Monken is doing the right thing by continuing the battle between Sanders and Watson through the second week of the preseason.”

- Rams not looking to rush WR Puka Nacua, DE Myles Garrett back to practice (ESPN) – “The Los Angeles Rams are taking it a day at a time when deciding when wide receiver Puka Nacua will return to practice, head coach Sean McVay said. Defensive end Myles Garrett also did not take part in practice, as he is dealing with swelling in his knee. Garrett worked out off to the side with a member of the Rams’ training staff during practice.”
- How fast can Daniel Jones go? It’s the last question in his return from Achilles tear (The Athletic) – “Riley Leonard was hours away from marrying his high-school sweetheart in front of more than 400 people. But first, he had to get a quick workout in. Because it’s impolite to deny the groom’s request on his wedding day, Leonard, the Indianapolis Colts’ backup quarterback, got his longtime friend and Colts starting quarterback Daniel Jones to join him at Rivers’s home for a morning sweat.”
- Ravens mourn the loss of legend O.J. Brigance (baltimoreravens.com) – “The Ravens are mourning the loss of the legendary O.J. Brigance, who heroically battled ALS for 19 years. Brigance, 56, was in many ways the heartbeat of the organization, a courageous and inspiring leader who kept coming to work despite his physical limitations.”
