The Browns need to navigate the first 11 games of the season without star quarterback Deshaun Watson. But Jacoby Brissett is no stranger to this task.

Why did the NFL appeal Deshaun Watson’s six-game suspension? “Because we’ve seen the evidence,” Roger Goodell said.

The Browns hoped that Jakeem Grant Sr. would jolt their languishing return game, but Cleveland will be without the speedy threat for the season.

Kareem Hunt is sitting out team drills at Cleveland Browns training camp as he attempts to get a new contract from the team.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will not rule on Deshaun Watson’s suspension appeal, instead leaving the decision to his designee.

Baker Mayfield said he held “no animosity” toward his former team but said the Week 1 tilt against the Browns would have special meaning.
