Teven Jenkins returned and was limited, but Elgton Jenkins remains in the the protocol and was a DNP for the second straight day. Todd Monken said today that Luke Wypler would start in Jenkins place if he can't go.

The Browns signed CB Myles Bryant and TE John FitzPatrick to the practice squad. In turn, they released CB D’Angelo Ross and TE Messiah Swinson from the PS.

Todd Monken said Luke Wypler will start in place of Elgton Jenkins is he's still in the concussion protocol Thursday. Parker Brailsford will be the backup.

Browns DE Jared Verse said he listened to too many ppl about what moves he needed to add and forgot that his strength is his super power. Got back to using it in recent weeks.

First Browns and Steelers practice report and Elgton Jenkins is a new addition. DNP today with a concussion.

Todd Monken dropped an "it's embarrassing" talking about all the penalties on offense against Carolina.

Browns HC Todd Monken says Tyson Campbell was close to going on Sunday and he feels pretty good about him playing Thursday.

Browns HC Todd Monken on the defense: They're playing really hard and they're playing very connected ... I just like the energy that they play with and they play off each other.

Todd Monken says they haven't even watched the tape from Sunday because they quickly moved onto Pittsburgh last night. Says there's a lot that's still a work in progress.

Cavs star James Harden on waiting to sign his extension to give Cleveland some flexibility to improve the roster this offseason: This isn't the first time I sacrificed like this. Whether it was time or money ... the only thing I'm missing is a championship.

James Harden is apparently a take your shoes off on the plane guy.

Donovan Mitchell on signing an extension with the Cavs this summer. Said he told Koby Altman the first day he was eligible he was going to do it.

Donovan Mitchell said there were a lot of reasons LeBron would have made sense for the Cavs and that he was surprised he chose Philly. Thought if he didn't come to Cleveland he'd go to Golden State.

Working through the All-22. There were numerous occasions where Jared Verse created sacks for others or got Bryce Young off balance by pushing the tackle back into the pocket. He was good. So was Mike Hall and Maliek Collins. A truly all-around effort by the D-line yesterday.

On Fri, the Journey classic Don't Stop Believing boomed on the speakers. The Browns entire roster sang along. It was a fitting moment for a team that Todd Monken has believing can overcome anything to win. A column on Monken's culture already taking hold in Cleveland: roundtable.io/sports/nfl/b...
