In the meantime, here is the Thursday edition of Browns Nation news and notes.
1. Browns Schedule Rumors
We are only hours away from finding out the true schedule, but there have been many internet rumors.
Here is a recent compilation, courtesy of Mr.Cleveland on Twitter, of what people believe is a portion of the Browns’ schedule.

If this is true, the Browns will be tested early with two key AFC North matchups against Pittsburgh and Baltimore.
Last season, the Browns played these two opponents near the end of the season, and the Ravens famously were the Browns’ opponents in two weeks, Weeks 12 and 14, with Week 13 being a bye.
2. Browns Release Video Of Watson Throwing
The Browns released a video of Deshaun Watson throwing during Phase II of the offseason workouts.
This is particularly newsworthy because Watson has not played competitive football since January 2021 so no one knows if he has any rust.
While Phase II is noncontact, it is easy to see that Watson has plenty of zip on the ball as it sails into Ja’Marcus Bradley‘s hands.

This follows a previously released video, from earlier in the week, of a Watson throw to tight end, Harrison Bryant.

3. Rookie Numbers Officially Released
With the Browns’ rookie camp opening on Friday, May 13, the Browns officially released the jersey numbers of the 2022 rookie class.
It seems to fall in line with the rumored numbers so the moral of the story is it is time to buy your Cade York #3 jerseys.

4. Throwback Thursday
This bittersweet video is from the last Browns home game in 1995 before the heartbreaking move to Baltimore.
It had all the feels for fans and players and though the outcome was not as important that day, the Browns did beat the Bengals.
The days’ events were narrated by the great Chris Berman who also took a stroll down memory lane of all the great Browns in the past era.
