Browns ‘grateful’ Myles Garrett in good health after car accident

Stefanski didn’t have an update on DE Jadeveon Clowney, who suffered an ankle injury in Week 2 and did not play Week 3 against the Steelers.

Clowney has 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and five tackles so far this season. He was one of seven players who didn’t practice Wednesday due to injury, joining G Joel Bitonio (biceps), DT Taven Bryan (hamstring), OT Joe Haeg (concussion), LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (groin), CB Denzel Ward (back, ribs) and Garrett.

“I really think it’s taking it day by day on all of these guys,” Stefanski said. “JD in particular, I don’t have a feel yet. As we get later in the week, I will have a better feel.”

Offense still has more to prove

QB Jacoby Brissett has thrived so far in the Browns’ offense thanks to several timely throws and a strong run game that has kept defenses honest at the line of scrimmage. He’s 11th in the league with a 94.3 passer rating and has thrown four touchdowns to just one interception. The Browns have established the league’s fifth-most efficient offense as a result.

Brissett, however, sees plenty of room for the group to grow.

“I think we’re figuring it out,” he said. “It’s still early in the season, and we still have a lot of questions for ourselves that we’re answering. It’s just finding ways to, like I always say, score one more point than they do. Along that journey, we’re figuring out what type of team we are going to want to be and moving forward with that.”
