BEREA, Ohio — The Browns took the practice fields in Berea Thursday for their second week and sixth day of OTA practices. In the session Thursday, there were new faces in the mix, including wide receiver Elijah Moore, who was not in attendance last week. There was also the continuation of quarterback Deshaun Watson 's shoulder rehab schedule of throwing every other day, this time in front of media for the first time in his progression.
"I’ve seen intentional leadership of him taking mental reps like he is one of the best quarterbacks in this league. I’ve seen a consistent growth and just him focusing on his shoulder routine, focusing on building that strength back and when he throws it, he spins it. So I haven’t seen anything of lack," Winston said."It’s challenging to have a presence when you’re sitting back from afar watching, and he’s done an incredible job just staying locked in, staying focused.
"Times where he's not throwing—Focus on today. Focus on your healing...Times when he's out there lighting it up throwing—Focus on today. Do your best." pic.twitter.com/Zeh8h7l9gKThe second week of OTAs saw Moore join his teammates on the practice fields. The voluntary practices have seen some other players come and go. Last week, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and defensive end Za'Darius Smith were present; this week, they were not.
"There's nothing to be mad about...I've been invited by competition my whole life, so it's not like I'm mad because Jeudy or I'm mad because Coop or anybody else that comes in, I ain't never shy from nothing. I'm from Florida, so that's not nothing that I'm ever afraid of. If anything, that opens us up, which you guys don't realize," Moore explained."I'm excited about what we got. I grew up with these guys.
