Day 7 of Cleveland Browns training camp took place Wednesday, August 5.
Cleveland Browns Training Camp Report – Day 7 (8/5/26)
1. A Change at Center: Cleveland has been rolling with Elgton Jenkins at center, but that changed today, as not only was he sitting out, but Parker Brailsford was sidelined too. Luke Wypler jumped the depth chart to practice with the ones.
More absences on Day 7 of Browns training camp: Elgton Jenkins and Parker Brailsford, Cleveland’s top two centers, aren’t practicing. Luke Wypler is snapping to Deshaun Watson for the No. 1 offense today.

2. Watson Finds a Groove: It’s a low bar, but the word is that QB Deshaun Watson had his best practice session by far. The stat tracker shows him throwing 7 touchdown passes, but don’t be in awe of that, since some were goal line passes in 7 on 7 drills. Nonetheless, he was at least sharp in the basics on the day, which is a step forward.

3. Look Out, Malachi Corley: Last year, we saw WR Malachi Corley have success on jet sweeps. However, in addition to catching everything coming his way, WR Denzel Boston got the carry on both an end around and jet sweep today. To my surprise, it was also noted that he’s been taking some reps on the return team too.
Today, the Browns have gotten the ball to Denzel Boston on an end-around and jet sweep. He’s made big plays downfield in training camp, but he’s being used in a lot of different ways on offense, in addition to returning kicks and punts. pic.twitter.com/7eB0j42owB

4. Growing List: Earlier, we mentioned that two centers missed practice. But the injury list in general is growing (although not everyone is an injury, like TE Joe Royer ).
Not practicing for the Browns today: Joe Royer (personal), Myles Bryant, Michael Burton, Damarri Mathis, Carson Schwesinger, Mike Hall Jr., Parker Brailsford, Izavion Miller, Elijah Chatman, Elgton Jenkins, Teven Jenkins, Jamari Thrash, Sam Kamara, Kalia Davis, Mason Graham,…

5. Concepcion Returns: One player who wasn’t absent was WR KC Concepcion , who returned to team drills after nursing his shoulder injury for a day.

6. Tipped and Picked: I always find it a bit fascinating when passes get intercepted in 7 on 7 drills. Here is one interception from QB Shedeur Sanders , after it was tipped by S Grant Delpit and then taken away by LB Winston Reid , who is getting extra time with LB Carson Schwesinger still idle.

7. Grossi Notes: We’re highlighting two notes from Tony Grossi today. The first one talks about a drill that Todd Monken had in place with respect to cadence, and that QB Deshaun Watson was able to draw off the defense twice, while QB Shedeur Sanders couldn’t do it.
Todd Monken had one period designed to test QBs cadence. Big issue with him. Watson was able to draw defense offsides twice. Sanders couldnt do it. Monken insists you cant have elite offense w/o elite cadence — ability to use up to 10 different cadences.

8. Testing More on the OL? I’m not sure if this is related to OG Teven Jenkins missing practices, or a reward for OT Dawand Jones , but before practice, Todd Monken indicated that the team has had talks about giving some reps at right guard to Tytus Howard , and moving Jones over to right tackle.
Todd Monken said conversations have been had about sliding RT Tytus Howard to RG & moving Dawand Jones to RT. Just talk now. He’ll wait for Monday to see situation at RG.

9. Brownies: CB Tyson Campbell sat out most of team drills, which may have played a role in some of the excess touchdowns allowed. … Per Daryl Ruiter , Todd Monken continued to cuss the team out due to pre-snap penalties. … Even though a report last night said both quarterbacks will rotate starting a game each, Monken said it’s still too early to say what the exact plan will be.
10. Up Next: The Browns will practice on Thursday at 1:30 PM ET. It will be open to the public.
