2. An Update On Chris Odom’s Injury
Unfortunately, defensive end Chris Odom‘s injury during the Chicago Bears preseason game is a season-ender.
Odom tore his ACL.
#Browns DE Chris Odom suffered a season-ending ACL injury during Saturday's preseason game vs. Chicago.
Cleveland just signed Odom earlier this month after he played in the USFL and was the league’s Defensive Player of the Year with a 12.5 sack season.

This is a sad ending to what has been a great 2022 for Odom following his outstanding performance in the USFL this year.
3. Myles Garrett Is Ranked 11th In NFL Top 100
On Sunday night, the NFL released its Top 20 players of 2022.
These rankings are player-determined.
Myles Garrett came in at the 11th spot.
#Browns Myles Garrett ranked No. 11 in the NFL's Top 100.
Up from No. 16 last year, but certainly nowhere near where he'd put himself.
— Camryn Justice (@camijustice) August 29, 2022
In 2021, he was 16th so he has moved up 5 positions.
Garrett is the highest-ranked Browns player in the Top 100 in 2022.
#Browns players who made the NFL's Top 100:
No. 87—Denzel Ward
No. 83—Wyatt Teller
No. 55—Joel Bitonio
No. 33—Nick Chubb
No. 11—Myles Garrett— Camryn Justice (@camijustice) August 29, 2022
Teammates Nick Chubb (33rd), Joel Bitonio (55th), Wyatt Teller (83rd), and Denzel Ward (87th) also made this year’s list.
The Browns had a funny response to Garrett’s ranking joking that the NFL accidentally added an extra 1 to it.
think you accidentally added an extra 1 on there, @NFL 🤔#Browns | #NFLTop100 pic.twitter.com/qEM2VTA9Xi

4. A Monday Memory
On this day 34 years ago, Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar graced the cover of Sports Illustrated for its NFL Preview issue.

The headline about Kosar was posed as a question.
It read: “Cleveland’s Bernie Kosar Last of the great quarterbacks?”
The Browns Vs. Panthers game is now just 13 days away.
On that happy note, have a great Monday Browns fans!
