- Cleveland Browns Training Camp Recap: Day 15 – Monken upset, ends practice early (Chris Pokorny) – “Day 15 of Cleveland Browns training camp took place Tuesday, August 18. Head coach Todd Monken was reportedly not pleased with an incident that went down at the end of practice.”
- Browns: Dylan Sampson is ‘electric with the ball.’ Even with this flaw. (Thomas Moore) – “The Cleveland Browns have had some familiar names showcasing their talents in the passing game coming out of the backfield. The latest player looking to join that group is second-year running back Dylan Sampson, who was third on the team with 33 receptions and a team-long 66-yard reception.”
- Which Browns rookie had the most impressive preseason debut? Reacts Survey (Chris Pokorny) – “There wasn’t much to be happy about as a Cleveland Browns fan in the team’s 34-10 loss to begin the preseason this past Saturday. Much like last year, though, one of the bright spots involved members of the team’s rookie class, specifically WR KC Concepcion, LT Spencer Fano, and CB Michael Coats.”
- 10 options for the new “Face of the Browns” (Barry Shuck) – “Anytime you see a network plug an upcoming NFL game, they always display a featured player as part of the enticement to get viewers. For an upcoming Cleveland Browns telecast, that was always All-World EDGE rusher Myles Garrett, a defensive athlete. But with Garrett now with the Rams, who will take over as the face of the franchise?”
- Za’Darius Smith free agency update: Browns or Kevin Stefanski decision (Jared Mueller) – “Is former Cleveland Browns HC Kevin Stefanski in a better position to win with the Atlanta Falcons than he would have been with his former team? The two sides seemingly locked horns in NFL free agency for the services of DE Za’Darius Smith, who played for the Browns under Stefanski for two seasons before being traded near the end of the second year.”
- Browns starting offensive line all but set; is it the right starting 5? (Abby Mueller) – “Significant changes were made this offseason to revamp the Cleveland Browns’ offensive line and put out a better product on the field. With several competitions happening in training camp and the preseason, it will be interesting to see where these positions net out starting in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.”

Cleveland Browns
- The Browns will soon choose a quarterback. That doesn’t make him the answer (The Athletic) – “Eventually, the Cleveland Browns will name a QB1. That doesn’t mean they actually have one.”
- Bring on the Bills: Browns excited to practice against new team, see how they stack up vs. Super Bowl contender (Browns Zone) – “Putting too much emphasis on any one day of training camp is counterproductive. Yet there’s no doubt the joint practice on Thursday with the Buffalo Bills carries added importance.”
- A steamed Todd Monken abruptly cuts practice short after several defenders cross the line; calls everyone in for a strong rebuke (cleveland.com) – “For the second time in Browns training camp, a steamed coach Todd Monken angrily cut practice short and sent his players off the field. On Tuesday — Day 15 of practice — Monken abruptly cut the session about 15 minutes short after several defenders crossed the line.
- How Jared Verse has brought a different vibe to Browns’ defense (Beacon Journal) – “You don’t see Jared Verse on the field first. You hear the Browns defensive end. That’s just because that’s who Verse is unabashedly.”
- It took one preseason game for Packers to regret Elgton Jenkins decision (Dairyland Express) – “The Green Bay Packers’ offensive line struggled mightily in the ugly preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And while not all starters played, it was impossible not to wonder how they might’ve looked with Elgton Jenkins on the field.”
NFL
- How important is pass protection for a running back? Ask Jaxson Dart (ESPN) – “It was supposed to be a routine dropback. In the New York Giants’ preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday, starting quarterback Jaxson Dart dropped back and was looking left at his downfield options. On his right, chaos was looming.”
- The healing continues for Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Times) – “Baker Mayfield sat on the island in the kitchen of his South Tampa home, watching the Saints lose to the Falcons and feeling the season slip away. A day earlier, the Bucs had beaten the Panthers in their final game of the regular season, only to witness Carolina claim the NFC South anyway. Tampa Bay was out of the playoffs, and Mayfield was left all alone with the cruelest kind of Sundays: nothing left to do but watch, wonder and replay everything that might have been different.”
- The five archetypes of the modern NFL cornerback (The Ringer) – “Cornerbacks are not one-size-fits-all. From the man coverage stars to the ball hawks and risk-takers, this is your complete guide to the best players at this important position.”
