Training Camp Observations: Day 5


– TE Harrison Bryant caught a few short passes Monday and has been off to a strong start to camp. He also caught a deep ball from QB Deshaun Watson on Saturday and has looked ready to step into a higher-volume role in the offense, which will likely be needed now that it’s only he and David Njoku at the top of the depth chart.
