- Browns HC Todd Monken: ‘It looked like we belonged’ (Thomas Moore) – “On Thursday, for at least one day, the Cleveland Browns showed they might finally be starting to figure this whole thing out.”

According to all reports, the Browns proved they belonged with the Bills, overall, and HC Todd Monken reported that veteran starters on the offense are unlikely to play in the second preseason game.”
- Browns free agency: Add TE, place offseason free-agent signing on IR (Jared Mueller) – “The Cleveland Browns tight end position was added to the list of positions of interest over the last few days as a few came in for workouts, while another could depart to return to the college ranks.

Cleveland Browns
- What Bills QB Josh Allen said to Browns QB Deshaun Watson after joint practice (Beacon Journal) – “Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s four-plus years in Cleveland have been defined not by on-the-field things like big wins or great comebacks.
