Browns rely on Wright as rookie settles into NFL role
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski praised rookie Alex Wright as he secures No. 3 defensive end duties after five tackles in the 21 20 preseason loss to Philadelphia. Wright has taken many reps with the starting defense while Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney sat. Perrion Winfrey shows flashes but remains inconsistent as Stefanski notes ongoing refinement of his technique. The Browns face the Bears in the preseason finale and await plans for resting starters including Jacoby Brissett.
