Browns face depth strain as injuries hit defense end depth
Browns practice on Monday sidelined Alex Wright and Isaiah Thomas with knee injuries threatening early season readiness. Second-team guard Drew Forbes suffered a back injury, while Jerome Ford exited with a hamstring issue, possibly forcing GM Andrew Berry to add a back if extended. Kareem Hunt visited the Saints as a free agent, and Charles Wiley was signed to bolster end depth amid a wide-list of limited players. Deshaun Watson delivered a strong red zone showing as other veterans rested or rehabbed.
