The Cleveland Browns have plenty of experience dealing with injuries, especially after their 2023 campaign witnessed more than a dozen players sustain injuries that cost those players more than half the regular season.
During the offseason and preseason, several other players experienced issues, ranging from minor problems that called for rest to some that required surgery.
On Monday, the Browns finally received some good news involving injured players.
Analyst Camryn Justice revealed that nine Browns players would return to practice this week to prepare for the season-opening contest against the Dallas Cowboys.
