  • The following players did not practice today due to injury: S Grant Delpit (hamstring), Tony Fields II (foot), DE Myles Garrett (hamstring), G Blake Hance (ankle), S Ronnie Harrison Jr. (hamstring), WR Alexander Hollins (hamstring), DT Malik McDowell (rib), LB Montrel Meander (hamstring), TE David Njoku (shoulder), S Sheldrick Redwine (ankle), WR Anthony Schwartz (hamstring), CB Denzel Ward (soreness). Clowney rested and Takk McKinley is still excused for a personal reason. Rookie defensive tackle Marvin Wilson walked off the field with a heat-related issue.

  • Schwartz back at practice today. Come on, kid! 

  • Let’s hope you are wrong and he can stay healthy. If you are right he’s just a way undersized JAG trying to learn the position.

    I loved seeing him in the preseason game! It's funny, we tried a go route and Baker actually made a great throw but Schwartz quit on the route. Schwartz jumped 9ne step early instead of remaining in stride or else the throw is probably perfect. That's just a timing thing and something that can be ironed out. Schwartz being in the preseason game means he's healthy enough to practice and he'll be ready for week 1 pending a setback.

    First play deep strike TD against KC? I can see it happening.

    Hehe, man...can you imagine? I'd bet anything on our best run play. Calm the nerves, try to get a few yards, lean on your strength. 

    But...I could also see it your way, too! However, it wouldn't be Schwartz, it'd be OBJ. I have a sneaking suspicion he's healthier than Browns are letting on. It might not be the first play, but if we get to around KC 40 yard line, it'll be a look for OBJ, book it.

    I don't expect much from Schwartz this season.. Year 2 and 3 .. I expect a big jump...

    I 100% agree. My hope for his potential high end would be something like 2-3 rushing tds and maybe 1-2 receiving tds. Why so many rushing tds? Because I firmly believe we're going to run the ball with Schwartz 3-4 times a game out of either a jet sweep or orbit motion. Again, these are my HIGH end predictions. It's entirely possible that Schwartz only has 10 receptions this year but out of those 10, 2-3 could be tds. 

    A lot of it will also come down to Baker. I can virtually guarantee you Schwartz will bust loose throughout the season, but Baker is going to have to deliver the ball. And although it won't show up in the stat sheet, there's a good possibility Schwartz will draw some pass interference penalties for us, too. 

    We've all heard about Schwartz's speed, but if he's healthy, there aren't many players in the league who can do what he can. It's difficult to replicate in practice and if we catch someone on an end around, he can get down field quickly. 

    Let's not kid ourselves, assuming everyone stays healthy, our receiving numbers will look like this:  

    OBJ - 1200 yards, 8 tds

    Landry - 1000 yards, 7 tds 

    DPJ - 500 yards, 4 tds

    Higgins - 500 yards, 4 tds 

    Schwartz - 250 yards, 2 tds

    IF Schwartz stays healthy and stays on the field every week, he'll have a real chance to be a weapon down the road. 

  • I won't be shocked if DPJ actually has a better season than OBJ or Landry. 

    I would be shocked if DPJ has a better season than both, though. But one of those guys? Not shocked or awed. 

  • Terrible Browns history with injuries and player overall conditioning -- Today's must-read.

    My .02 says they have muscle imbalances.. it takes a lot of humility for any professional to accept that they need to target weaknesses to continue to perform at a high level.

  • Anthony Schwartz is questionable tomorrow with a knee injury. Total shocker! We all knew this guy would be an injury problem, but Jesus. Hamstring to knee injury in just 1 week! These injuries are getting so old, man. 9
