The Cleveland Browns convened for the first practice of game prep for Week 1 on Monday with a welcome new presence in the middle of the offense. Starting center JC Tretter was an active participant in the practice session.
It’s the first time since the team returned to action this summer that Tretter has been involved in anything other than mental reps. Tretter has missed the summer workouts and training camp after undergoing a minor procedure to his knee.
It’s still too early to know if Tretter will be ready to roll when the Browns visit Baltimore on Sunday. Fifth-round rookie Nick Harris has been the first-team center in his place and has impressed the coaches and teammates. Undrafted rookie Evan Brown is the other interior OL reserve.
