Womens Jarvis Landry Jersey , John Dorsey pre-camp presser With training camp set to officially open on Thursday, Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson
and general manager John Dorsey were live in Berea on Wednesday, answering any
and all questions the media had heading into this year’s sessions. With Jackson
humorously dressed in sweatshirt-Dorsey attire, let’s recap some of the big
takeaways from press conference.WR Situation - Looking at Dez Bryant, Josh
Gordon’s StatusThe Browns will be down another wide receiver at the start of
camp, as WR Ricardo Louis is out for the season with a neck injury. Cleveland is
also using the “Did Not Report” label on WR Josh Gordon to help open a second
roster spot (at least temporarily).Dorsey wants to respect Gordon’s privacy and
the team supports him through this time. He does not have clarity as to when
Gordon will be back, other than they expect him to be back at some point for the
2018 season. They feel he is 100% committed to the Browns and they are 100%
committed to him as well.Hue Jackson has not had the chance to speak with Gordon
since the news. Dorsey was asked if he knows what Gordon’s statement meant when
he said he would be back “soon.” Cleveland has talked with Dez Bryant, and they
will think about the receiver position in the coming days. However, he also
cautioned not to read too much into that specifically, since they have talked to
a lot of players. While Gordon is out

Cleveland will be working out some receivers in the coming days.Staying
Confident in QB Tyrod TaylorDespite the praise both Jackson and Dorsey had for
rookie QB Baker Mayfield, both were clear that this is Tyrod Taylor’s
team.Jackson did not want to discuss whether Mayfield will be the No. 2 or No. 3
quarterback to begin camp; instead, he just kept stressing that Mayfield will
get the amount of reps he needs. Here is what Jackson said about Taylor being
the No. 1 quarterback in camp:Hue Jackson’s Different Role in 2018 as Head
CoachEven though Hue Jackson is still the head coach, now entering year three
with the Browns, his role has very much changed into this year’s camp. He now
compares himself to a CEO who is overseeing the operation. In my opinion, this
was 100% necessary and the only way to justify keeping Jackson for a third
season — to see if he could thrive in such a role.Other NotesShon Coleman will
be the first player to get a shot at left tackle.Jamie Collins, Mychal
Kendricks, and Antonio Callaway are ready to go for camp.Asked why the secondary
was revamped so much, Dorsey said, “After you sit and listen to the head coach
talk about what he thinks we need
Youth Jabrill Peppers Jersey , and then you talk to the defensive coordinator and see what he thinks he needs at that time – it was obvious that
we needed some players here and that is why we went down the path we
did.”Ricardo Louis’ neck injury happened late last season and required
surgery.Cleveland Browns Roster Cuts: The Final 53-Man Roster UPDATE (9/2/18):
The Browns made 5 waiver claims (and thus 5 more cuts) on Sunday, so the “new”
53-man roster can be found here. The original 53-man roster story appears
below:The following players were cut by the Cleveland Browns on Saturday,
trimming their roster from 71 players to the league-required 53 players. Make
sure you react to all of the cuts in the comments section below! The final
53-man roster is also at the bottom of this post.Note: Here is a list the 14
players who were cut by the Browns on Friday. They also traded OT Shon Coleman
on Friday.OFFENSIVE PLAYERS CUTRB Matthew Dayes - Had a strong final preseason
game, team would love to get him back on the practice squad.RB Dontrell
HilliardFB Danny Vitale - Waived/Injured designation. The team is going without
a traditional fullback, but veteran TE Orson Charles may take on that role.WR
Da’Mari ScottWR Blake JacksonTE Devon Cajuste - The Hard Knocks darling didn’t
make it, but could be a practice squad candidate.OL Spencer Drango - Drango has
always been intended to be a backup, but he’s made a lot of starts the past few
years due to injuries. Last year, he replaced Joe Thomas at left tackle. At
playing nearly every snap this preseason while Kevin Zeitler was out, they
decided to keep veteran Earl Watford (recently signed) instead.OL Christian
DiLauroDEFENSIVE PLAYERS CUTDL Nate Orchard - His final pick six against the
Lions wasn’t enough. Orchard, a former 2nd-round pick
http://www.thebrownsfootballauthentic.com/briean-boddy-calhoun-jersey-authentic , was a longshot last year, but stuck around for depth. Not in 2018.DL Caleb
Brantley - Probably the biggest “cut” on the list. He was often hurt this camp,
and has a history of motivational issues. Maybe that was OK with Sashi Brown,
but not with John Dorsey.DL Zaycoven HendersonDL Daniel EkualeLB Brady SheldonLB
B.J. BelloS Simeon Thomas - The only one of John Dorsey’s draft picks who was
waived. He played tight coverage this preseason, but used his hands way too
much. Should be a practice squad candidate.S Montrel MeanderS Tigie SankohCB
Mike Jordan - One of two cornerback holdovers from a year ago, he saw some
increased reps lately, but the team opted to keep their new guys instead like
T.J. Carrie and E.J. Gaines.SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYERS CUTP Justin Vogel OTHER
