Saturday was a lighter day at the Cleveland Browns training facility in Berea for the 12th day of training camp. The players were in shorts and shells instead of full pads.
Sunday will be different. The Browns are heading to FirstEnergy Stadium for the first time in 2020 to hold a practice at the home stadium.
It will not be a scrimmage. Coach Kevin Stefanski made that clear. It’s more about getting the new players — and coaches — more familiar with being at FirstEnergy Stadium on game days.
“What we want to do is kind of get in there, get our uniforms on and get what it feels like coming out of that locker room. Some guys, myself included, have not spent a lot of time in that building so that is kind of what we are thinking,” Stefanski said in his Saturday Zoom session. “The second time we get in there, we will really use it as a dress rehearsal, both literally with them wearing the uniforms but we will have headsets on, the scoreboard and all of that. Just use that as a dress rehearsal both for our staff and for our players.”
The practice will be streamed via Browns Live. The Browns will hold the “dress rehearsal” later in the week before camp ends on Friday.
