Grab your coffee, pull up a seat, and dig in.

Browns lose an OL to IR, have an open roster spot

The Browns now have an open roster spot after placing offensive guard Michael Dunn on Injured Reserve. Will they fill that with P.J. Walker and name him backup quarterback moving forward? Or will they promote another offensive lineman from the practice squad?

Players like veteran Ty Nsekhe and former first round pick Alex Leatherwood are currently in Berea and could be easy adds to the active roster. Who will serve as Joel Bitonio’s backup considering he just had a knee scope over the bye week?

Will Nick Harris, Luke Wypler, or James Hudson III get those backup reps?

Kyler Murray could return to practice; Browns play Cardinals in 2 weeks

AZCentral is reporting that Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray could begin practicing next week as the team could activate his 21-day window for return. This is substantial for the Browns as they are set to take on the Cardinals in three weeks.

Will they see their former backup Joshua Dobbs or will they get Murray? This is something to monitor.
