Browns rookie running back Duke Johnson returns from concussion

The players will be in full pads on September 10. These include names like Johnny Manziel, Brandon Weeden, Colt McCoy, Brady Quinn, Charlie Frye and Luke McCown. The concussion will not cause the coaches to lighten Johnsons workload.

“He needs a strong, strong cast around him”, one personnel director says. “”I think some things will be clarified once the [NFL’s] investigation is completed”, Smith said.

“We’re confident with Josh”, Browns coach Mike Pettine said. He and Johnson are the only running backs on the 53-man roster.

“This is a move out of my hands, obviously, ” right guard John Greco said.

Pettine hinted another running back might be added by the end of the week. Shaun Draughn could be activated from the practice squad after being waived Saturday, and free agent Montee Ball reportedly is an option.

The Browns are counting on Johnson to help their rushing attack this season. Daryl Richardson rushed for 72 yards and one touchdown in 22 attempts. He threw in practice Monday for the first time since August. 23.

The Jets’ success in the pass attack is going to result from RB Chris Ivory’s excellent showing in this one.

The injury prevented the second-year quarterback from playing in the final two preseason games.

Moeller was at the team’s facility for the walk-through on Monday morning. “That’s like found money”, Pettine said. I hate to do this to him but Im glad I made it out of there in time.”. The report said no injuries were observed by officers and the woman was taken to a hotel at her request.

Pettine said no single incident led to giving up on West, a third-round pick in 2014. “The allegations, all the information that is available, it’s disturbing”. “He’s come in and been everything we thought he would be, and then some”.

“Theres a process weve established internally as to how we handle any conduct issue, and were going to stick to it.”. His only action was taking the snap in the wildcat twice against the Bears.

McCown had a strong training camp and preseason, so there was never any doubt he would become the starter heading into the opener. It’s good that basically all of our 53 [players] are going to be able to participate in practice in some form or fashion.

The real thing is here. Both Flacco and Roethlisberger have Super Bowl rings, so maybe that type of quarterback is what the Browns need to eventually get the Browns to the franchise’s first Super Bowl. I am anxious to see him continue to develop.

The best way to describe Pryor is he has been a curiosity.

“You can already tell in the short time that his team has been out there in the preseason that they are very organized, well coached”, Pettine said of Bowles. “Its hard to just have that be a project for a year. They too are looking to redeem themselves this year on offense that returns two pro bowlers in Joe Thomas and Alex Mack.
