Summary

  • Wednesday's red-zone-focused Browns practice produced two interceptions by the secondary even as the offense scored multiple touchdowns in 7-on-7 work.
  • Shedeur Sanders took all first-team reps on Day 17, with Deshaun Watson handling most second-team snaps and Dillon Gabriel mixing in during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods.
  • Sanders hit KC Concepcion and Blake Whiteheart for red zone scores, Watson found Gage Larvadain for another, and Gabriel connected with Malachi Corley for a fourth touchdown.
  • Tre Avery wrestled away a deep ball from Tylan Wallace for one interception, Michael Coats Jr. added another near the goal line, and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren broke up two more passes.
  • The 11-on-11 periods still tilted toward the defense at times, with Mason Graham stopping Dylan Sampson for a likely loss and Julian Okwara and Quincy Williams combining for likely sacks.
