2022 Browns OTA's/Mandatory Camp/ rolls into Training Camp
-
From Cleveland. com.....
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- There’s something to be said about a team that hasn’t been there before acting like they haven’t been there before.
The Browns had almost an entire roster in attendance for Wednesday’s second practice of OTAs, a voluntary session, just like everything else leading up to the three-day mandatory minicamp in the middle of June. The only significant players missing were tight end David Njoku, defensive end Myles Garrett, left guard Joel Bitonio and, obviously, quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Njoku is staying away until an extension gets done, Garrett will be just fine (and has attended other voluntary sessions) and Bitonio just spent the weekend in the Bahamas with many of his offensive teammates and any parent of two, like Bitonio, knows there’s a give-and-take at home when you get away to the Bahamas for a weekend with your buddies. (OK, that last part is unconfirmed, but Bitonio, like Garrett, will be fine.)........
.......then lots more plus.......
There is also the football side to this, one at this moment occurring the day after those HBO interviews and with the lawyers on each side of the case sniping at each other via local sports talk radio.
The reason the Browns were willing to take all this on -- the football side is really good. Watson looks the part of an elite quarterback.
During a 7-on-7 third-down drill, Watson converted four of his first five throws for first downs, including a deep ball to tight end Miller Forristall down the right side, a bullet to wide receiver Anthony Schwartz, and two throws to tight end Harrison Bryant, one on the move and another bullet to the third-year tight end.The one incompletion was a deep throw on the left side to wide receiver Jakeem Grant. (As an aside, Grant, in an interview with cleveland.com, was quick to agree he was interfered with on the play.)....... continued........
(OK, that last part is unconfirmed, but Bitonio, like Garrett, will be fine.)........
Making it fun..

Edit/merge of Mandatory Camp notes added too..
here's a few, on many Browns fans list..
1. The Browns' mandatory mini-camp officially begins Tuesday, starting with a practice at Cross-Country Mortgage Campus. That'll be the only team practice in Berea this week, though, with a trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame planned Wednesday and a practice at FirstEnergy Stadium scheduled Thursday.
After that, it's a six-week hiatus until training camp begins.
2. Baker Mayfield-- still on roster, yet excused from Mandatory Camp with over 18M left on his contract..Yet again, the Browns still have the most cap room by almost his contract number over the 2nd place cap team in Carolina..https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space/
3. Browns staff of paid 'in the knows' stand by... 'they like what they have'? 88 of 90 is all they have on roster...stay tuned..

Browns cornerback Denzel Ward leaves final minicamp practice with injury
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns wrapped up their offseason program on Thursday at FirstEnergy Stadium, but they didn’t escape entirely unscathed. Cornerback Denzel Ward left practice and didn’t return.
Ward sat on the bench on the south side of the stadium after the injury with his shoe off while a trainer looked at the injury. He walked gingerly to the locker room under his own power.

According to a new report, Ward dodged any significant foot injury and should be ready for training camp:
An MRI and X-ray on the left foot which Ward injured during Thursday’s practice inside First Energy Stadium showed no structural damage, a league source confirmed to the Beacon Journal. He is expected to be available once training camp starts July 27.
The good news continued with Williams’ injury:
Greedy Williams spent much of the three days working with a trainer off to the side as he recovers from what is, per reports, a sprained ankle that also isn’t expected to be a long-term issue.

Just what is it with the Browns and constantly injured DBs? Snakebit for sure.

Important to understand overall NFL injury rates by position
DB's [barely] at the top of expectation of injuries by position - slightly higher than LB's to have a player expected to be out for 1-4 games.
Greedy Williams -- note that his only injury so far as a professional is the shoulder; nothing foot/ankle/leg related.
I propose the real question should be what a player's expected injury rate is.. and that number is zero only for QB/punter/kicker and maybe OL.
They're not snakebit if they experience a normal amount of injuries over the course of a season..

I'm sure putting a basketball hoop on the field will help stop rolled ankles...
