Kareem Hunt scores for Browns off pitch from TE Harrison Bryant

Kareem Hunt is back in the end zone as a Cleveland Brown

The San Francisco 49ers were caught off-balance on Sunday in Cleveland.

The Browns’ QB PJ Walker left the field and tight end Harrison Bryant went under center to take the snap.

A tight-end-turned-quarterback sneak for sure.

Not on this day.

Bryant took the snap and instead of pushing forward pitched the ball to running back Kareem Hunt, who scored a touchdown to make it 10-7 deficit in the second quarter.

PFF’s 10 highest-graded Browns’ offensive players vs. Titans

The offense had their best showing on the early season this week

After a really disappointing game last Monday against the Steelers, the Cleveland Browns offense bounced back to score 27 points in the domination of the Tennessee Titans. It was the most complete game that Deshaun Watson has had since he joined the team and it finally gave the fans some hope that he can return to form.

Now he has to be able to stack these games and be good consistently if they really want to compete. But there were some flashes of the magic on Sunday as Watson used his legs to escape trouble several times and find a player to keep the drive going.

This was also a much better game for the offensive line in passing protection than against the Steelers. It wasn’t perfect but this was a step in the right direction and if the offense could complement the defense this team could make the playoffs.

Here are the 10 highest-graded Browns players on offense according to PFF against the Titans.

Browns put the dagger in the Bengals as Deshaun Watson hits Harrison Bryant for 6

The Browns are making a statement.

The Cleveland Browns are putting the game out of reach as they have extended their lead to 21 over the Cincinnati Bengals in this Week 1 showdown. After a fourth down sack by superstar Myles Garrett, the Browns then took swift action to extend their lead. Led by a couple of positive Nick Chubb runs, quarterback Deshaun Watson found tight end Harrison Bryant for a touchdown at the goal line.

It has not been pretty for the Browns offensively, specifically for Watson, but they got the job done. The defense has been dominant against the Bengals today, keeping the energy high as the offense has worked through some woes in subpar weather.

The Browns then converted a two-point conversion to extend the lead to a full 21 points. This one looks out of reach for the Bengals. To make matters even better for the Browns, the Bengals just went three-and-out and punted again.

TE Harrison Bryant and RB Jerome Ford return to practice

It was a good sign seeing the two players return to the practice field

Both running back Jerome Ford and tight end Harrison Bryant have missed a majority of training camp with injuries. Ford had a hamstring injury while Bryant missed time with an undisclosed medical issue. With not much talent in the running back room for the Cleveland Browns behind Nick Chubb getting Ford back could be crucial.

The team, of course, acquired Pierre Strong Jr. over the weekend which helps but the team is high on Ford for a reason. It’s one practice but with nearly two weeks before the season opener, fans should be optimistic that Ford is back on the field.

Harrison Bryant’s situation was different as it was undisclosed so people outside of the building had even less of an idea of when he would return. He was back on the field catching passes on Tuesday and moving around well leading to more optimism that two of the team’s young offensive playmakers will be ready for Cincinnati.

Browns release 6 inactive, 2 doubtful players against the Chiefs

The Browns have released their inactives list heading into their preseason finale matchup against the Chiefs.

The Cleveland Browns are now just hours away from their preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. This is the last opportunity for a handful of players to make their mark to show they deserve a spot on the final 53-man roster. While running back Jerome Ford is not among those fighting for a roster spot, he is among those not playing in this one.

All-in-all, the Browns announced six would not play and two others are doubtful in this matchup. Here is the full injury report released by the Browns.

Browns: David Njoku lands in the top 10 in Madden 24 tight end rankings

The Browns’ TE1 finds himself as the ninth ranked at his position in this year’s game

With Madden 24 set to release next month, EA Sports continues to release the player ratings position-by-position. With the tight end rankings dropping today, the Cleveland Browns have one player ranked in the top ten in David Njoku who ranks ninth at an 84 overall.

Even though he is ranked in the top ten he is the third highest rated tight end in the AFC North behind the Raven’s Mark Andrews at three, with a 95 overall, and the Steeler’s Pat Freiermuth and eight with an 85 overall. Let’s look at how the Browns’ tight end group ranks out in the game.

Note: UDFA’s haven’t been added so some of the Browns training camp players are not rated.

1 veteran player on the roster bubble at each position group for the Browns

After overhauling chunks of their roster, which veterans could find themselves on the bubble as training camp nears?

The Cleveland Browns and general manager set out to add talent not only to positions of need but all over their roster this offseason, and may not be done yet. While the microscope is on the defensive tackle room given how abysmal it was a year ago (meaning second-year player Perrion Winfrey will need to lock in this summer), there are now veterans on the roster bubble in every room.

Who else joins Winfrey as veteran roster bubble candidates as the Browns look to get training camp underway in three weeks? Here is one player per position that will be in a fight for a roster spot.

53-man roster prediction after Jordan Elliott and Harrison Bryant rework deals

How will the reworked deals of Harrison Bryant and Jordan Elliott impact the Browns’ final 53-man roster?

The Cleveland Browns reworked the contracts of two of their 2020 draft class alumni. Both tight end Harrison Bryant and defensive tackle Jordan Elliott upped their guaranteed money while lowering their base salary (with more incentives involved as well), all but guaranteeing their roster spot on the final 53-man roster.

How does this impact the roster elsewhere? It guarantees the Browns will roster three tight ends, and leaves one less defensive tackle position for the likes of Perrion Winfrey, Maurice Hurst, and Trysten Hill to fight over.

Here is a final 53-man roster prediction after Bryant and Elliott look to have locked themselves into their spot.

Restructured deals of Harrison Bryant, Jordan Elliott make them roster locks

They’ll be back in 2023.

[connatix div_id=”3f8b015acdd24c648befc5d5dac47469″ player_id=”afe1e038-d3c2-49c0-922d-6511a229f69c” cid=”7cbcea0d-4ce2-4c75-9a8d-fbe02a192c24″]

The Cleveland Browns and two members of their 2020 draft class struck deals to restructure their original rookie deals. Both tight end Harrison Bryant and defensive tackle Jordan Elliott elected to take a lower base salary to add guaranteed money back into their contracts. Both will still be free agents at the end of the 2023 season, but what they did do was guarantee themselves a roster spot this year.

Before these new deals, neither Bryant nor Elliott had any guaranteed money left on their contracts. By trading less money for a far larger guaranteed sum, Elliott and Bryant are playing the long game. While the guaranteed money (just over $1 million to both) is not exponential and could still be eaten by the Browns to move on, that move now seems quite unlikely.

The two fourth-year players now have the opportunity to earn up to $4 million in incentives as well should their play back up a higher payday on the field.

While their fate beyond their fourth season in 2023 with the Browns is uncertain, they now have clarity this year.

Browns restructure TE Harrison Bryant’s contract

The #Browns got creative with tight end Harrison Bryants contract to reach a mutually beneficial agreement ahead of the 2023 season

The Cleveland Browns gained some salary cap flexibility on Thursday by re-working tight end Harrison Bryant’s contract ahead of the 2023 season. News of the re-worked deal broke on Twitter, where details of the agreement came to light in relatively short order.

Instead of a $2.7 million non-guaranteed payday for the talented tight end, his new deal includes just over $1.7 million guaranteed, with incentives to push it to a total value of $4 million.

This gives Bryant some security in the final year of his contract and gives him more incentive to play at an elite level if his pending free agency in 2024 hasn’t already lit a fire under him.

A crucial piece of the Browns’ offensive attack, Bryant is behind David Njoku on Cleveland’s depth chart, but will likely find a new home as a starter on another team if he continues on his impressive trajectory next season.

His utility as both a blocker and receiver has gained fan-favorite status in northern Ohio, and with this new deal, he will have plenty to prove to both the Browns faithful and prospective suitors for his pending free agency.
