Browns likely have one wide receiver spot still open

This week marks the final week of the preseason and a key date is looming as teams must cut their rosters down to the NFL-mandated limit of 53 players on Sept. 1 by 4 p.m. While the Cleveland Browns appear set at the top of the various position groups Youth Nick Chubb Jersey , there are still end-of-the-roster battles to watch, most notably at wide receiver.On Saturday, head coach Hue Jackson expressed his desire to have six wide receivers on the roster, calling that a “good number.” So who are the six that will make the initial roster?It is safe to say that veterans Jarvis Landry and Josh Gordon - now that he has remastered the art of breaking the huddle — are locks to make the team. Go ahead and put down rookie Antonio Callaway and Rashard Higgins, who is showing what a player in his third year can do when given a chance, down for spots as well. Damion Ratley, a sixth-round selection from Texas A&M has looked good in the preseason and should see a considerable amount of playing time in the final preseason game on Thursday against the Detroit Lions. Unless he is injured or has an incredibly poor game against the Lions, put Ratley down for the fifth spot.That leaves one roster position up for grabs. At the outset of training camp it appeared that veteran Jeff Janis would make the team. He was brought to Cleveland in free agency after spending four seasons with the Green Bay Packers, playing primarily on special teams. The link to Green Bay, where general manager John Dorsey and front office mates Alonzo Highsmith and Eliot Wolf all worked White Seth DeValve Jersey , would seem to favor Janis, but he hasn’t done much in the passing game so far and his play on special teams has been erratic at best.That could open the door for Derrick Willies, an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech. Willies has the size — 6-foot-4 and 207 pounds — that coaches like, and he has been a vocal target of offensive coordinator Todd Haley, which could indicate that Haley sees something in Willies worth working with. The final preseason game can be a difficult one to watch as the majority of a team’s top players do not play. But with the Browns still finalizing the back end of the roster, there will be a few players at the wide receiver position worth keeping an eye on at Ford Field.Daily Dawg Chow: Browns news (8/10/18) Cleveland Browns:“Mayfield and Barkley have strong debuts in preseason opener” (AP) - “Replacing starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor late in the first quarter, Mayfield hit 11 of 20 passes for 212 yards, two touchdowns, and converted two fourth-down plays with his feet.”“Dez Bryant to Browns GM: ‘I’m coming to the Land to see you’” (ESPN) - “Bryant then took to Twitter to tell Dorsey, as well as his 3.5 million followers White JC Tretter Jersey , that he wouldn’t mind playing for the Browns but that he isn’t ready yet.”“John Dorsey believes Antonio Callaway didn’t smoke marijuana” (Plain Dealer) - “Asked if believes a league suspension will be forthcoming, Dorsey said he’d let that situation play out, but he feels ‘pretty optimistic’ Callaway will test negative.”“Slow start to Browns’ season should land Hue Jackson one really hard knock” (C-T) - “It wouldn’t matter if Jackson was one of those lugging the water bottles into the huddle during timeouts.”“By the numbers: QB play, defense help Browns to preseason win” (Browns.com) - “The Browns gave up 4 rushing yards to Barkley after his opening run, proving that they could once again be of the league’s premier run defenses this season.”“Browns vs. Giants Highlights | NFL 2018 Preseason Week 1” (NFL on YouTube) - “The Cleveland Browns take on the New York Giants in Week 1 of the 2018 NFL preseason.”NFL:“Injuries we’re tracking from Week 1 of preseason” (NFL.com) - “.
