— Garrett said there's been no issues consistently switching sides of the field with Olivier Vernon. Both defensive ends — who each made the 2018 Pro Bowl — mostly played from the right side before Vernon was acquired from the New York Giants in March, but it appears that both will be effective no matter where they position at the line.

"It's been a blast," Garrett said about constantly switching sides. "Being inside, outside, left side, right side, it's been fun just being on the field and making plays with my boy."

— Kareem Hunt passed his physical and was cleared to practice Saturday for the first time in training camp after spending the first eight practices on the NFI list. He was a limited participant in drills has a chance to play in the first Browns preseason game Thursday.

"We were safe with him and careful in getting him back," coach Freddie Kitchens said. "This was really his first chance to get back out, and I was pleased."

— Wide receiver Derrick Willies has caught the eye of Kitchens, who has mostly held off from giving too much praise to players thus far.

"Last year, he demonstrated the ability to catch the ball and run after the catch with the ball," Kitchens said. "He is a big target, of course — a big rangy target. Then he helped us out last year on special teams tremendously. He was really doing a good job on special teams and then he was coming on as a receiver. We expect him to keep coming and doing the same sort of things."

— Kitchens appreciated the abundance of fans that showed up for the Browns' first appearance at FirstEnergy Stadium this season. Proceeds from fans will go toward the Browns' "Get 2 School" initiative that encourages students to attend school.

"I wanted to tell you how proud I am of the support that we had today because all these proceeds go to something our organization really believes in — the 'Get 2 School' program," Kitchens said. "One-hundred percent from the ticket sales goes to that, and this a tremendous start for that narrative."

— Garrett wasn't too happy with his No. 49 ranking in the NFL Network's Top 100 Players of 2019 list. He joked that if he reached anything higher than No. 49 in the rankings again, it was time to retire.
