Browns elevate defender, add another CB to Week 2 injury list
The drama in Week 2’s matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not include QB Baker Mayfield’s revenge, but it may include a couple of injuries that could help the former Browns quarterback. A win on Sunday would be big for Cleveland fans, after watching their team just get shellacked in Week […]
Johnny Manziel finally takes accountability, responsibility for Browns failures
“I don’t have anybody else to blame but myself for how my NFL career went.” – Johnny Manziel A lifetime ago, the Cleveland Browns drafted Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel with the 22nd pick in the 2014 NFL draft. The excitement in the air that night in Radio City Music Hall was off the charts. […]
Baker Mayfield’s rage won’t be taken out on Browns, saving it for a different opponent
Most, understandably, believe that Week 2’s matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers is all about QB Baker Mayfield’s revenge. While there might be some of that, Mayfield has been more positive, in general, about his time in Cleveland in the ramp-up to this week’s game. The former Browns, Carolina Panthers, and Los […]
Browns Week 1 performance: Offense worse than you thought, especially under center
Coming out of Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season, everyone knew that the Cleveland Browns looked terrible. There was almost nothing positive in our 10 takeaways, very few winners in our weekly Brownies and Frownies, and “4 Downs” was pretty much “All Down” for Cleveland. Browns fans pretty strongly placed blame on QB Deshaun […]
Beating Baker Mayfield would be a big deal for Browns, fans
Baker Mayfield’s journey has been a massive part of the Cleveland Browns’ story over the past decade. The Browns’ decision to trade for Deshaun Watson marked the end of the Mayfield era in Cleveland. The animosity between Mayfield and members of the organization continued during the years following the trade, making this a very interesting game. […]

Browns, Bucs Week 2 injury report: 4 questionable, 1 out
The obvious story between the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 is the quarterbacks. The Browns got rid of QB Baker Mayfield after acquiring QB Deshaun Watson in a huge trade that has been an abject failure. Mayfield remade himself with the Bucs after quick stops with the Carolina Panthers and Los […]
Former Browns RB Nick Chubb believes 2024 decision had big impact on end of his career
For Cleveland Browns fans, RB Nick Chubb will always be considered among the best and favorite players since the team’s return. Recently retired, Chubb’s on-field resume may not match up with Hall of Famer Joe Thomas or DE Myles Garrett, especially with his single-season sack record, but the way he played, the hard work he […]
Shedeur Sanders, Jimmy Horn Jr. reunion with Browns update on Friday
The Cleveland Browns have their final practice on Friday for Week 2’s matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with an injury to CB Tyson Campbell at the top of the concern list, especially with former Browns QB Baker Mayfield on the docket.

Browns Week 2: Scouting Baker Mayfield, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
As the Cleveland Browns look to reset after a lackluster season opener, the team returns to Florida to visit old friend quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday.

Browns legend talks about Shedeur Sanders’ work ethic, progress
For better or worse, all the conversation around teams in the NFL is about their quarterback play, especially with the Cleveland Browns.

Cleveland Browns news: Injury report adds big name, Jimmy Horn Jr., Week 2 games of note
After spending time on Wednesday mostly about the offense, Thursday for the Cleveland Browns was all about the defense. DC Mike Rutenberg spoke, as did DE Jared Verse, with a new DNP leading the injury reports from that side of the ball. Browns fans are not expecting much from their team in Week 2 with […]
Browns, Bucs injury report: Concerning addition for CLE
On the second day of Week 2 preparations, a report came out that the Cleveland Browns were signing former Carolina Panthers WR Jimmy Horn Jr. Horn spent time in college with Browns backup QB Shedeur Sanders and was recently waived by Cleveland’s Week 3 opponent. That move has not been made official, but Week 2 […]
Browns signing one of Shedeur Sanders’ favorite receivers, reportedly
The never-ending roster process of the NFL is why we are cautious about not calling the initial 53-man roster “the final 53-man roster,” as it used to be referred to. Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry is always looking to improve the roster, from the top to the bottom, and is unafraid to make moves, even […]
NFL Week 2 games of interest for the Cleveland Browns
With Week 2 of the NFL season set to kick off, several games beyond the Cleveland Browns’ matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could catch the attention of Browns fans.

Cleveland Browns news: Week 2 injury reports, Deshaun Watson opens his mouth, TV map, more
Another day, another press conference, another time the Cleveland Browns’ employment of QB Deshaun Watson is embarrassing to the greatest fans in the world.

Browns, Bucs injury report: 1 DNP, 6 limited on Wednesday
The Cleveland Browns began practice preparations for Week 2 versus Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as big underdogs on the road. While it is not anyone’s expectation, it might take Deshaun Watson throwing for “400 yards and five touchdowns” for the Browns to overcome the Bucs, with both teams coming off Week 1 […]
TE Dae’Quan Wright will not return to the Browns, NFL this year as league puts its foot down
While many predicted chaos as NIL and more money (legally now) entered college football, no one could have predicted the wild turns surrounding a tight end fighting for a backup or practice squad spot on an NFL roster. Yet, here we are with former Cleveland Browns TE Dae’Quan Wright, as well as DT Zxavian Harris. […]

Browns QB Deshaun Watson believes media sets unrealistic expectations for him
When it comes to self-awareness, Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson seems to be lacking, as his infamous press conference proved. On top of that, his play on the field has been even worse, including Week 1’s destruction at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, rarely does one player cause a loss or create a […]
Browns legend Joe Thomas: Team’s failures broke him one year, Manning’s wild request
When Cleveland Browns Hall of Famer Joe Thomas spoke to DBN’s Barry Shuck a couple of years ago, he was open and honest about how difficult it was to play for a losing team. Thomas, like former Browns DE Myles Garrett, put on great performances on the field only to see their team lose over […]
