Cleveland Browns
Bitonio has been a stalwart of the offensive line since 2014, and Sunday will mark career start number 150
Like most NFL teams, the Cleveland Browns have had their fair share of “up’s and down’s” when it comes to developing draft picks since they came back to Ohio in 1999. One of their most beloved success stories is undoubtedly OG Joel Bitonio, who’s headed for his 150th career start on Sunday.
When you think of a player like Bitonio it’s hard to imagine anything besides success or comfortability. He’s always been a beloved human being by the Cleveland community and...

The Browns QB has struggled greatly since being acquired in a big trade
When the Cleveland Browns acquired QB Deshaun Watson in a huge trade with the Houston Texans, most believed that the team had finally solved their quarterback problem. While there were huge concerns with Watson’s off-the-field behaviors and some concern about his ability to knock off rust, the QB threw for over 4,800 yards with 33 touchdowns and just seven interceptions in 2020.
The Browns, along with at least four other teams, were willing to give up a ton to acquire Watson from the Texans based on that...

We ask about the Eagles’ inconsistencies, their defensive blitzing, and more.
This Sunday, the Cleveland Browns stay on the road as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles. To help preview a few topics from the Eagles’ perspective, we reached out to Brandon Gowton from Bleeding Green Nation and exchanged five questions with him.
Chris: “The Eagles really struggled to close out the 2023 season. They have a 2-2 record coming out of the bye — would you say they have rediscovered themselves so-to-speak?”
Brandon: “They certainly have not rediscovered their 2022 form by any means. The 2024 Eagles much...

Amari Cooper, David Njoku among those who returned Thursday
When the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles matchup in Week 6, it feels like a game between two teams that need a win desperately to keep up with preseason expectations. The Eagles are healthy coming off of their bye week while the Browns continue to lick their wounds (both figuratively with a 1-4 record and dealing with injuries).
Thursday’s prepractice report let us know that a few Browns players would be back on the field for practice. Later Thursday night we found out from Instagram that James Hudson III had successful...

James Hudson III missed last week’s game and has been out for the first 2 Eagles practices
Another day, another injury for the Cleveland Browns. Sort of.
The Browns injury report for Wednesday’s practice, the first before facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6, included 10 players not participating. Along with big names like Myles Garrett, David Njoku, Amari Cooper and others was OL James Hudson III.
Hudson was noted as being out due to a shoulder injury. After starting at left tackle to start the season, Hudson missed the Week 5 loss due to the injury but HC Kevin...

Browns fans can also use this as an open thread.
Week 6 of the NFL season kicks off tonight as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Seattle Seahawks.
The 49ers are a disappointing 2-3, with their wins having come against the Jets and Patriots (not the most impressive resume). I still believe in them despite their struggles as one of the NFC’s best. The Seahawks, meanwhile, also had an easy three-game stretch to begin the year, but have now lost two straight close games.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the 49ers are 3.5 point favorites against the Seahawks. The 49ers...

Cleveland’s veteran WR says his focus remains on helping the Browns win, even as trade rumors continue to swirl.
The Cleveland Browns have seen the 2024 season continue to spiral out of control during the team’s three-game losing streak.
The problems are numerous and across all sectors of the team, outside of punter Corey Bojorquez, and with the Browns sitting at 1-4 it feels as if the season is over.
Because of the struggles, speculation has been building in recent weeks that general manager Andrew Berry will pull the plug on the season and start trading away some of the...

David Njoku, Amari Cooper, Myles Garrett back on the field
The Cleveland Browns face a long list of “must-win” games the rest of the way in the 2024 NFL season unless the 2025 NFL draft is their highest priority. The Browns roster has been decimated by injuries for the second straight season while the team struggles on both sides of the ball including the best defense in 2023 becoming mediocre (or worse) in 2024.
Wednesday, the first practice in advance of their Week 6 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland had 10 players not participating in practice and [a large...

The DBN staff predicts the Week 6 games, plus the national media make their predictions for Browns vs. Eagles.
Here is what the national media is saying about the Week 6 game between the Browns and Eagles:
The Browns are playing consecutive road games and the offense is a mess with Deshaun Watson. The Eagles are coming off a bye where they had time to stew about their last blowout loss to the Bucs. I think that stewing will pay off as they get back on track and Jalen...

Tony Brown II signed to the 53-man roster after 3 practice squad elevations
The amount of strain that injuries have placed on the Cleveland Browns roster has been extreme for the second straight season. Unlike in 2023, the 2024 Browns roster hasn’t had as many season-ending injuries to key players at key positions but has had a lot of players placed on injured reserve or miss multiple games in a row.
Slowly, players are being designated to return from various lists. Last week, we had three including RB Nick Chubb designated for return. This week, [two more were designated for...

Quick pressures are great but Browns defense isn’t backing up Garrett
The Cleveland Browns are 1-4 early in the 2024 NFL season for a variety of reasons. While the offense with QB Deshaun Watson struggling gets a ton of attention, rightfully so, the Browns defense has taken a huge step backward as well.
The season might be over, in terms of playoff hopes, but DE Myles Garrett is planning to keep playing despite injury concerns.
A couple of weeks ago we shared that the Browns defense was getting the most quick pressure in the NFL. Most of that had to...
