PFF’s 10 highest-graded Browns on offense vs. the Eagles

Who shined the most on offense against the Eagles

After several brutal practices with the Eagles in Philadelphia, the Cleveland Browns faced them in their third preseason game on Thursday night. The Austin Watkins Jr. story continued as he made even more impressive plays this week.

He understands how to attack a defense and mixes good size and body control with reliable hands making his case for why he should make the roster. Whether he makes it here or somewhere else Watkins Jr. will be on an active roster this year.

Outside of that, the offensive line depth continued to play at a high level with the two Ohio State rookies, Luke Wypler and Dawand Jones, playing well again. How did the top offensive players grade out in Philadelphia according to those at PFF?

Browns add cornerback and offensive tackle a day after waiving 5 players

After having a couple of injuries during the Hall of Fame game and waiving players, the Browns have added a cornerback and offensive tackle.

A day after the Hall of Fame game, the Cleveland Browns waived five players with a couple of them getting an injury designation. The team signed three players on the same day before filling the final two roster spots on Saturday. The team needed to add a defensive back and offensive tackle and they did so by signing offensive linemen Derrick Kelly II and Gavin Heslop.

Kelly II went undrafted out of Florida State in 2019 and has spent time with the Saints, Giants, and Jets, as well as a season in the XFL. He stands at 6-5 and 320 pounds and has experience playing both tackle spots and some snaps at guard.

Heslop was also undrafted in 2020 coming out of Stony Brook having spent time with the Seahawks, Giants, and Panthers. Heslop has shown that he isn’t afraid to play the run though he hasn’t seen the field much in his career.
