The second week of Browns' training camp wrapped up on Saturday, and the Browns are preparing for what comes next. Cleveland will kick off the first week of the preseason starting next week as they travel to Charlotte for a joint practice with the Panthers before the first preseason game on Aug. 8.
Saturday's session featured hard hits, 1-on-1 drills and red zone work. Most players got valuable reps before the off day on Sunday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski continues evaluating players each day of practice, expressing how much easier evaluation is with padded practices.
"I think you learn about everybody when the pads go on, and it's more physical," Stefanski said. "Like we've talked a lot in the offseason. You have to take everything in the offseason with a huge grain of salt because there's no contact. And then once you finally get out here and you can have contact, I think you make better evaluations of your players."
The Browns appear focused but loose heading into the week, especially veteran DT Shelby Harris. At almost 34 years old, Harris has been in the NFL for 11 years, officially earning the title of seasoned vet. He's been a part of numerous training camps, and after Saturday's practice, Harris reflected on how his experience in the NFL gives him perspective on the grind of camp.
"I enjoy being out here with the guys," Harris said. "That's the thing you love the most is just the team and being around all the guys and putting in that work. Training camp is the time where you are supposed to be bonding with everybody and getting to know all the young guys. But then also you go out there and you gain respect. You earn that respect. You're watching people run full speed, making plays and it's just a time where you really get close to your teammates. That's really, I think, the main part. Obviously, you want to get in shape, but this is the main part of training camp, is really just building that bond with your teammates."
