With the sun beating down at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on Tuesday, fans saw the Browns in pads for the first time this training camp on the third day of open practices.  

The defensive line took control during 11-on-11 periods, stuffing run plays multiple times while getting after the quarterbacks. The Browns also continued to rotate reps at left tackle with the first team. 

Here are the main observations from the sixth day of training camp.

Quarterback competition on the second day of pads

QB Shedeur Sanders worked with the first team on Tuesday, while QB Deshaun Watson was with the second team. The two quarterbacks continue to rotate in with the first team on alternate days. 

Sanders found WR Luke Floriea on an over-the-shoulder throw near the sidelines during 7-on-7 for a big gain. During 7-on-7, WR Isaiah Bond made an impressive catch on a throw from Sanders after CB Myles Harden tipped the pass. 

During the final two-minute drill, Sanders found WR Jerry Jeudy twice and RB Raheim Sanders three times through the air to put the offense in field goal range. Shedeur Sanders also completed a pass to WR Gage Larvadain across the middle of the field for a first down on the drive. 

Watson connected with Larvadain over the middle of the field a couple of times on the day for solid gains during 7-on-7.

Offensive line updates six practices into camp 

G KT Leveston took first team reps at right guard again on Tuesday while G Teven Jenkins did not practice. Leveston started seven games at tackle for the Browns last season, but head coach Todd Monken views him as a guard. 

"I think he's more fit to be a guard," Monken said before practice. "I like his toughness. I like his finish. He's a great kid. Now it's just a matter of operation, what we're doing offensively, when the ball's snapped, his ability to react to what he's seen. But we really like KT, we really think he's got a bright future."

T Spencer Fano took reps at left tackle with the first team, continuing the rotation with T Dawand Jones. Fano posted multiple impressive 1-on-1 reps against DE Jared Verseto keep the pocket clean. 

C/G Elgton Jenkins continues to take reps at center with the first team, while T Tytus Howard and G Zion Johnson fill out the rest of the unit. 

The second team offensive line on Day 6 was T Austin Barber at right tackle, C Kingsley Eguakun at right guard, C Parker Brailsford at center, G Zak Zinter at left guard and Jones at left tackle. During 11-on-11, the second unit set up an open lane for Raheim Sanders, who found the hole — created by Jones — for a nice gain up the left side.

Defensive line impresses with big plays on Day 6

The defensive line continued its strong training camp performance on Tuesday. During 11-on-11 gap scheme run work, Verse blew up one of the first run plays of the day by getting to the backfield for a likely tackle for loss. There weren't many holes for the running backs to find on Day 6, with the defensive line bottling up the run game for most of practice. 

Verse and DE Alex Wright have worked with the first team defense all training camp and the third defensive end in the rotation has been DE Isaiah McGuire. DE Julian Okwara had a standout practice opposite of McGuire on Tuesday, including a good pass rush that resulted in a likely sack against Watson. On another play of 11-on-11, Watson rolled to his left and attempted a pass, but Okwara swatted the throw.
