There’s a new face on the Cleveland Browns practice field this week. No. 37 in the brown and orange is safety Tedric Thompson.
Thompson was claimed off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs last week but not in time to play in Sunday’s game against Tennessee. The veteran has now been practicing for the last three days with the Browns and should make his Cleveland debut on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
Coach Kevin Stefanski was asked if Thompson will play on Monday.
“I do think it is realistic,” Stefanski said. “A smart player. He has played in similar systems. We will see how the week plays out.”
Coach Stefanski seems to like what he sees thus far from Thompson, now in his fifth NFL season.
“He has been spending a lot of time with Jeff Howard (the Browns DB coach/passing game coordinator) and the defensive coaches on Zoom. It was great to finally meet him in person and get him out on the practice field.”
Thompson took over the roster spot vacated by injured Ronnie Harrison. He could also take over some of Harrison’s reps.
