Overview

  • The defensive front, led by Myles Garrett and rookie Mason Graham, generated consistent pressure, recorded multiple sacks and forced turnovers against the Eagles.
  • Wide receivers Jamari Thrash and Jerry Jeudy, running back Pierre Strong Jr. and tight end Sal Cannella all had drops during team periods, highlighting a lack of explosive playmaking.
  • Joe Flacco bolstered his standing in the quarterback race with efficient red-zone execution and accurate intermediate throws during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills.
  • Shedeur Sanders sat out team sessions after aggravating an oblique issue, limiting his participation in 7-on-7 work and affecting his rep count.
  • The Browns emphasized pre-snap motion and tight-end formations to compensate for a thin deep-threat corps and simplify coverage reads.
