Training camp happenings are the lead stories in this Saturday edition of Browns Nation news and notes.
1. The Watson To Chubb Connection Is Heating Up
Deshaun Watson is getting entrenched with the Browns’ offense.
Through the first few days, we have seen highlights of him spreading the ball around to his receivers.
The latest highlight shows him throwing a TD to Nick Chubb on a goal-line play.

2. Green Comes Up Big With INT Off Brissett
With Denzel Ward on the PUP list, it is time for other cornerbacks to step up.
A.J. Green did just that on Friday with an interception off of Jacoby Brissett.

Green was a 2020 undrafted free agent who enters his third season with the Browns.
In 2021, Green recorded his first NFL interception and appeared in 12 games but mainly in a special teams capacity.

He played in 22% of the defensive snaps during the season.
3. Browns Add A Familiar Face At Defensive Back
The Browns needed to fortify the defensive back room and did that by claiming DB Jovante Moffatt on Friday.

Moffatt was an undrafted free agent in 2020.
He spent the past two seasons with the Browns but was signed by the New York Jets to a reserve/future contract in January 2022.
The Jets released Moffatt on July 27, and two days later he rejoins the Browns.
4. Good News On Schwartz’s Knee Injury
Fans can breathe a sigh of relief because it does not appear as though wide receiver Anthony Schwartz‘s knee injury is serious.
He left Thursday’s practice early but was back on the field on Friday in uniform doing a walk-through.
#Browns WR Anthony Schwartz has a knee strain and is day-to-day.

He is listed as day-to-day with a knee strain.
That is the kind of injury news the Browns need, minor and quick to recover from, especially in what is already perceived to be a thin wide receiving corps with rookie David Bell spending the opening days of his first career NFL training camp on the PUP list.
Happy Saturday Browns fans!
