No surprise that fans predict the Browns in the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills as the Bills easily managed the Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams last night on Thursday Night Football.

First things first, a Week 1 win and hopefully an opportunity to overcome the team’s long drought in winning the division.

The Friday edition of Browns Nation news and notes includes tidbits about the team’s preparation for Sunday’s game.
1. Per AVP: Schwartz Has Improved In Practice
It is still hard to believe that despite a below-average performance in the preseason that wide receiver Anthony Schwartz is on the 53-man roster.
The Browns are thin at wide receiver so let’s hope that offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt’s assessment of Schwartz’s improvement is true and that it translates to a good performance in a regular season game.

Regarding Schwartz’s improvement in recent practices, Van Pelt said:
“We know he can (maintain his confidence). Even in the last 10 days of practice, he’s turned it around. He hasn’t put a ball on the ground. He’s caught the ball extremely well with confidence. Sometimes you go through little slumps in your career. We have to find a way to get him out of it, and I think he’s found a way to get himself out of it, as well.”
2. CLE Vs. CAR Thursday Injury Report
Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey showed up in the team’s injury report with a shin injury.
He was a full participant in practice.
The other two Panthers on the report have hip issues.
They are tight end Giovanni Ricci who was limited in Thursday’s practice and kicker Eddy Pineiro who was a full participant.
