Bell played well in his first game back with the team. The wide receiver caught all three targets for 27 yards in the first half. Bell is a trustworthy target for quarterbacks despite his limited athleticism. The offense will miss his consistency.

New WR Jerry Jeudy exits Cowboys game with leg injury

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy exited the Cowboys game with a leg injury.

The Browns traded for Jeudy in the offseason and gave him a modest extension before he played a snap for the team. Jeudy played well in his debut. The receiver had three receptions for 25 yards and a touchdown. The Browns offense struggled mightily with Deshaun Watson at quarterback.

Watson played horrendously in his first game back since shoulder injury. The quarterback is still an extremely slow processor on the field and an inconsistent passer. Watson short armed a few passes to open receivers during the game. The Browns offense only scored 10 points during the first three quarters due to his play.

Jeudy played well considering his quarterback struggled to throw the ball. A receiver can be easily limited by an inaccurate quarterback. Hopefully, the receiver can return to the team healthy.

Njoku’s 32-yard reception set the Browns offense up for a touchdown to make the game 10-27 with ten minutes left in the quarter. Njoku was a foundational piece of the offense and the Browns must find a way to replace his production. The Browns only carried two tight ends on the roster this season. Jordan Akins will replace Njoku until he can return.

Another starting offensive lineman cleared to practice in the nick of time

Cleveland Browns OT Jed Wills Jr. was cleared to return to practice after suffering an MCL tear in 2023.

Cleveland Browns starting left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. is cleared to practice. Wills was among a garrison of Browns’ players returning from injury this week. Wills suffered a season-ending MCL tear last November. The tackle had knee surgery in December after he attempted to play through the injury. 

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters the Browns will take it slow with Wills,  “He’s cleared to practice. He’s doing walk-throughs. He’s not going to practice just yet, but he’s progressing through his rehab.” 

The Browns need Wills to protect quarterback Deshaun Watson this year. Wills is poised for a strong season. The veteran is entering the final year of his contract, and he’s looking to capitalize on it. 

Wills is a talented left tackle, but inconsistency has haunted him throughout his career. Wills must mentally buy-in on every snap. His lack of care between downs has limited the start of a promising career.

In week one, Wills will have his biggest test of the season against Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys. Hopefully, the tackle can string together a great season and get rewarded handsomely.
