• Browns training camp darling in 2026 prediction: 3 ‘26 draft picks lead the list (Abby Mueller) – “Each season, a handful of players outperform expectations during training camp in August, quickly becoming fan favorites ahead of the regular season. It is a player who has flashy moments in practice and allows fans to get really excited at the prospect of what they could be for the Cleveland Browns’ future.”
• Browns opponents: Injuries already hitting visitors for Cleveland’s home opener (Jared Mueller) – “The Carolina Panthers show up on Cleveland’s schedule this year, in Week 3, as the Browns’ home opener for the 2026 season. As we saw when Cleveland placed DT Maliek Collins on the active/PUP list, injuries are always a story in the NFL.”
• Former Browns QB Kenny Pickett ‘begged’ for Cleveland trade (Jared Mueller) – “Last year, former first-round pick Kenny Pickett was one of many quarterbacks attempting to solve Cleveland’s longstanding issue. Acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, Pickett seemed to have an early lead on the starter’s job before an injury all but eliminated him from contention. Interestingly, Pickett’s college coach, Pat Narduzzi, said that the quarterback was desperate to leave the Eagles.”
• Cleveland Browns training camp 2026: TE and FB preview, who replaces David Njoku? (Chris Pokorny) – “Next up on our training camp preview is the tight end position. There are fix tight ends on the roster, but after the departure of David Njoku, all we really have confidence in is Harold Fannin, who had an outstanding rookie season. Who is the next man up, though? We also check out the team’s fullback candidates heading into camp.”

Cleveland Browns​

• 2025 draft class must take next step after strong rookie year (Browns Zone) – “For the Cleveland Browns to take the step they anticipate this season, the group led by linebacker Carson Schwesinger will have to be even better in Year 2. The Browns need the ’25 draft class to be a foundational piece … and not a one-year wonder.”
• Trade? Extension? What does the future hold for Denzel Ward and the Browns? (cleveland.com) – “When the Browns traded Myles Garrett last month, attention naturally turned to Denzel Ward’s future. GM Andrew Berry has been open about the state of his team’s roster and the youth movement, and a cornerback who just turned 29 in April doesn’t fit as snugly in a vision that extends beyond the 2026 season.”
• Welcome to the Dawg Pound: Advice on what this fan should expect after converting to the Browns (Terry Pluto) – “Somewhere in Michigan, a man named John Sparrow has made a decision he may come to question. Sparrow emailed into the Terry’s Talkin’ podcast to share the story of how he just became a Browns fan, and had a question to ask cleveland.com columnist Terry Pluto.”
• Browns expect Andre Smyzt, Corey Bojorquez to stabilize special teams (Beacon Journal) – “Browns rookies have already reported. Now they’re waiting for their first full-squad training camp practice. This concludes our Browns training camp preview series looking at each of the team’s position groups.

• After 47 years with the Vikings, an equipment manager gets his Hall of Fame moment (The Athletic) – “He might not like this story. Not because it’s wrong or rude or negative, but because it’s about him. For more than four decades, Dennis Ryan mostly escaped the headlines. He did what he was determined to do: remain unheralded, contribute in a way where you’d have to know to really know. Ryan did his job and left the Minnesota Vikings’ facility later than anyone else without extra praise or prestige.”
• Lamar Jackson and the other side of a revolution (andscape.com) – Baltimore mayor Brandon Scott won’t be donning a helmet and pads when the Ravens open training camp today. Yet, as the city’s point of contact — a young Black man, at that — for one of America’s most beautiful and often misunderstood cities, calling the right play at the right time is critical. Decisions now impact history.“
• Andy Reid gives 6 Chiefs injury updates; Patrick Mahomes cleared to practice (Arrowhead Pride) – “On Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs unofficially opened training camp as quarterbacks, rookies and select veterans arrived at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. Head coach Andy Reid began his opening remarks with a rundown of the team’s initial injury situation.”
