Dawgs By Nature
The Cleveland Browns are off on Tuesday, heading east to visit the Carolina Panthers for a joint practice on Wednesday and the first preseason game on Friday night. Monday, as required by the NFL, the team provided its first “unofficial” depth chart of the preseason. No huge surprises, but a lot of names all over the list, including four rookies either starting or in a position to play a big role already.
Besides the rookies, a few interesting notes litter the depth chart:
– The QBs being listed, as expected, with the vets up front, then the two rookies
– Diontae Johnson listed behind Jeudy as an outside receiver, with Jamari Thrash “starting” over him
– Alex Wright listed opposite Myles Garrett with strong depth at the defensive end position
– Sam Kamara being listed at DT after being listed as a LB or DE at different times in his career
– Mohamoud Diabate starting over Jerome Baker at WILL
– Nik Needham being listed at FS instead of CB
