Rockins loss opens starter race for Browns
Cleveland Browns rookie Brian Washington has been unofficially named strong safety, competing with Thane Gash after Rockins left camp. Coach Schottenheimer said the job is not decided, with Washington and Gash vying to start as the team overhauls the safety position following last season's AFC Championship loss. Washington, a Nebraska standout, said he earned a fair shot and expects to contribute, while Rockins remains on the 62-man roster with options including reserve list or trade.
