The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett has posted six straight seasons with double-digit sacks, and health permitting, a seventh should be right around the corner.

Browns Injury Report
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Garrett (hamstring) "will be fine" after tweaking something during a minicamp drill, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Garrett's injury appears minor and shouldn't impede his readiness for the start of training camp late July, but due to the nature of soft tissue injuries, the situation should nonetheless be monitored. While he was helped off the field on a cart, Cabot reports that Garrett could have walked off under his own strength. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett has posted six straight seasons with double-digit sacks, and health permitting, a seventh should be right around the corner.
Cooper didn't report to June minicamp, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. With his absence confirmed for a third straight day, Cooper can be fined slightly more than $100,000. He's in the final year of his contract and looking for a new deal, following a 2023 season in which he had career highs for receiving yards (1,250) and yards per catch (17.4) despite missing two games and playing with four different quarterbacks. He struggled to produce with PJ Walker and especially Dorian Thompson-Robinson, but Cooper reached 90 yards in four of Deshaun Watson's six starts and averaged 121.3 yards in the four games he played with Joe Flacco. Cooper will turn 30 next week and remains crucial to the Cleveland offense even after an offseason trade for Jerry Jeudy.
Thompson-Robinson (hip) participated in 7-on-7 drills Tuesday, but is still limited in practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Thompson-Robinson is still not fully cleared from a hip subluxation suffered during the Browns' Week 15 win over the Texans. There was hope he'd be cleared in time for mandatory minicamp, which began Monday, but it does appear the UCLA product is at least making progress in his recovery. DTR is expected to compete with Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley for the top backup role behind Deshaun Watson (shoulder).
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Jeudy (undisclosed) isn't practicing but is in the building and "working through some things," Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Jeudy appears to be dealing with a minor injury, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, though details remain undisclosed. It doesn't sound like Jeudy is in any danger of being less than a full go for training camp in late July, but there's a possibility he won't get back on the field before then. After being traded to Cleveland in March, he quickly agreed to a three-year extension with the team. Jeudy is positioned to work as the No. 2 wideout behind Amari Cooper, who is holding out from mandatory minicamp.
Watson (shoulder) is throwing passes in 7-on-7 drills Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. It's the first time Watson has thrown passes in 7-on-7s during the offseason, making this a tangible step forward on the first day of June minicamp. He seems to be on track for 11-on-11s at the start of training camp in late July, although it's not a guarantee given that the Browns seem inclined toward caution. Watson had surgery last November to repair a displaced glenoid fracture in his right shoulder -- an uncommon injury without any known precedent among NFL quarterbacks. He seems to be progressing as the Browns had hoped, with Petrak noting that Watson's throwing velocity looked good during Tuesday's practice.
Cooper isn't present Tuesday for the start of mandatory minicamp, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Cooper is in the final year of his contract and presumably wants an extension. The Browns can fine him while he's absent, and it's possible this stretches into training camp if the wideout doesn't have a new contract by late July. Cooper had career highs for receiving yards (1,250) and yards per catch (17.4) last season, buoyed by a 25-485-3 receiving line in the four games he played with Joe Flacco as Cleveland's starting QB. Cooper also did well with Deshaun Watson, reaching 90 yards in four of the six full games Watson played, whereas Cleveland's other main pass catchers -- namely TE David Njoku and WR Elijah Moore -- struggled to get anything going with the supposed franchise QB. The Browns added Jerry Jeudy this offseason, likely pushing Moore back to the No. 3 role and giving Cooper more competition for targets.
Davis (ankle) signed a contract with the Browns on Friday. Davis spent the entire 2023 season on the Giants' injured reserve due to an ankle injury. His addition to Cleveland's roster indicates his health is back up to par. He is expected to compete for a depth offensive lineman role in the upcoming season.
Strong (back) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice, Joshua Gunter of Cleveland.com reports. Strong was inactive for Browns' wild-card loss to the Texans in January, but is well over his back issue. After Cleveland added D'Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines to a backfield that already includes Nick Chubb (knee) and Jerome Ford, Strong may be on the roster bubble with the Browns this summer.
