After undergoing hip surgery in February, Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry has pronounced himself “a little bit ahead of schedule,” according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Landry said he should be ready to return to field action at some point in August. At the moment, obviously, it’s unclear when/if training camp will officially get underway, but Landry figures to be ready during the preseason. Fresh off a campaign in which he posted 83 receptions for 1,174 yards and six touchdowns, Landry had hoped to avoid surgery in favor of a rest-and-rehab schedule, but ultimately went under the knife.
Here’s more from the AFC North:
- Ben Roethlisberger, who missed the majority of the 2019 season after suffering an elbow injury, had already resumed throwing in February, but this week, he started throwing to his teammates. In a video tweeted by Roethlisberger, the veteran quarterback is shown throwing to Steelers pass-catchers JuJu Smith-Schuster, Ryan Switzer, and James Conner (and subsequently undergoing a haircut and shave). Now 38 years old, Roethlisberger had hoped to gain full medical clearance by the summer. He’s signed for two more years, with a whopping $41.25MM cap charge on the books for 2021.
- Former Packers area scout Charles Walls has joined the Browns‘ front office, reports Rob Demosky of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Walls will receive a promotion in Cleveland and will hold the title of national scout, per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal (Twitter link). Walls, who had been with Green Bay since the 2013 season, had covered the Southeast region for the Packers.
- In case you missed it, the Ravens are considering an out-of-state training camp location due to COVID-19 concerns.
How is Switzer still on the roster? Johnson is better in both the slot and return game
Switzerland is Ben’s caddy. Deon Cain will be the player who gets cut instead of Switzerland.
I agree with u but u do need depth
Ben’s $41m isn’t bad. Dak wants $35+m annually. Then that’ll be topped by Watson & Mahomes.
I think Ben has become an albatross for the Steelers in the same way that Eli became one for the Giants. It’s never easy to push a guy that got you championships into retirement but it has to be done eventually.
Difference is that the Steelers were still winning with Ben. The Giants weren’t with Eli.
Based on what? His 2018 numbers?
And Dik has deserved 35m+ for exactly what in post season? Ben better provide a ROI.
