Many many players are injury prone, I don't think Denel Ward is one of them.
They had to wait 2 years to get more than 10 snaps out of kw2 in 2007. Plus Josh Gordon, plus whomever was the first team pick for about 13 out of 17 years who missed a whole year. Denzel Ward is not very injury prone at all.

Hoping for good news on Denzel's MRI today

I’ll expect it to be 4-6 weeks

Agreed. Short term IR for Ward will not surprise me.

I dig the rig they're using to teach the OLine to fire out low and not stand up too quick.

GREAT news on so many guys returning, but I just hope that they're actually READY and not pushing to get back sooner than they should. There are still a LOT of games left; if we make it to the post-season, we'll need all of these guys to have not aggravated injuries by coming back too soon.

You're right, I think with his knee condition...they rest him often through the week. I could be wrong, but I think this rang true last year as well. Good news is we should get C/RG Nick Harris back soon, for depth purposes.

I hope not, though I know thigh injuries can be slow to heal, especially at Denzel Wards recovery rate. It's odd Zach Wilson got hurt yesterday, already had his MRI done, results were in 5 hours ago...Denzel got hurt last Thursday, and there's still no news with his MRI.

If Tretter can show up and play like his is without practicing... i'm not mad.

I take that as bad news. People are usually eager to spread good news. I take it as there is something there and need to conduct more tests, bla, bla, bla.

I wonder if this will be Tretter’s last year. Isn’t he a FA?

True. But he could be cut in the offseason and it would only cost the Browns $1.6M in dead cap and save $8.25M for the 2022. I'm not advocating for this as there doesn't seem to be a legit option behind him at the moment but cuts happen all the time to pay up for someone more valuable. Someone's final contract year doesn't mean all that much anymore and $8.25M in savings is a rather decent chunk.

Oh thanks. Good news

I think we were looking to have Nick Harris take his spot, but he's on IR and I don't know that anyone has seen enough of him to say that he's ready to step in. Unless Harris, or a rookie, step up big time next summer, I would bet on Tretter still being here. I doubt that he gets another contract here, though. He's plenty good enough, but we just need to start the process of getting less expensive and younger on the OLine, and Wyatt Teller is going to need a big contract soon, too.

I'm not one who tends to overvalue Browns players. But I certainly think Tretter is a player we could work out a trade with so we aren't forced to cut him while getting nothing in return.

Janovich back?

I wish they'd start the process of getting a Super Bowl Championship to the Cleveland Browns before..

Maybe you should inform them that this should be their intended goal?

I think I like Stanton better in that role. He is a far better pass receiver, and actually, a better runner as well.

I think so too. Stanton looks so much more athletic to me...like...not even close.

Anyone have a link for the live conferences today?

Baker, KS and other PC's are up on the Browns website.

I thought Baker’s PC was excellent

j/c...

JC.

Why Don't? The Browns throw to David Njoku, MORE OFTEN!

in relation, to throws to Hooper, and, Bryant, David Njoku, is clearly the better player, and better things happen for the Browns when they throw to him.

So they need to get the ball to David Njoku, more often.

What gives?

j/c...

Groan. Thanks John Kelly.

Johnny Stanton SZN

How long until D’Ernest tests positive?

As soon as Belicik pays off the lab tech.

Wow. So is there a chance they both play? Not sure how quickly you can test negative when you have Covid...

If you’re vaccinated you can, theoretically, test negative pretty quickly. It is unlikely.

Here is my Covid story:

My son got Covid from school. He’s five so he’s not vaccinated. We kept him in his room and outside for a few days. Eventually my wife (vaccinated in March) and daughter (not old enough for the vaccine) both got Covid. I, vaccinated in May, never got it.

Let’s hope D’Ernest has the same luck I had.

Passing game, anyone?

Are there any guys who were on our practice squad or that we cut during camp available? And/or guys that have played for Shanahan, Kubiak, McVay, and/or LaFleur?

With D Johnson, we will still run it down new England’s throats.

woah. covid is ripping through the browns now. All RB's but Johnson has it and teller and possibly more.



hopefully, Garrett doesn't get it again. smh
