Sizing up the Browns after 6 practices: More than just a QB competition

The New York Times sports

Key Points:

  • The Cleveland Browns' training camp reveals strong performances from rookies like wide receivers Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion, running back Quinshon Judkins, and defensive end Jared Verse, indicating potential improvements across multiple positions.
  • Safety Grant Delpit secured an extension after a strong 2025 season, while the Browns are evaluating roles for rookie Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and others amid a likely increase in three-safety defensive looks.
  • The quarterback competition remains unsettled with inconsistent play from Deshaun Watson and promising moments from Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, leaving the starting role still in question ahead of the preseason opener.
  • The offensive line shows some stability with four starting spots seemingly set, but depth concerns persist, especially at tackle, as the Browns continue experimenting with young players in key positions.
  • Defensive tackle and linebacker groups face challenges due to injuries and lack of depth, with key players like Maliek Collins rehabbing and others sidelined, highlighting areas needing reinforcement before the season begins.
