As the Cleveland Browns prepare to travel to Baltimore for Sunday’s matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, a couple of injured players are progressing towards playing. Wednesday’s practice had two players doing more than they have in weeks.
Starting center JC Tretter practiced once again, on a limited basis. Tretter returned to practice on Monday for the first time all summer. He had a knee scope just before the start of training camp.
Cornerback M.J. Stewart was also a limited participant. Stewart, acquired in August off waivers from Tampa Bay, missed over two weeks of practices with a hamstring problem. His progress is a good sign, because presumptive starting slot CB Kevin Johnson remains out with his liver injury. Stewart is best-suited to play inside.
Joining Johnson on the sidelines:
- CB Greedy Williams
- OT Chris Hubbard
- LB Mack Wilson
The Browns will make a determination on who will play in Week 1 after Friday’s practice.
