Summary
Harold Fannin Jr. and Mason Graham stood out in Cleveland’s first padded practice, with Fannin hauling in 4 catches in traffic and Graham disrupting both run and pass periods.
Pads gave coaches a fuller look at physical play: Fannin added a key red-zone catch and strong blocking, while Graham beat a double team, flashed his bull rush and helped collapse the pocket with Jared Verse.
Shedeur Sanders supplied the late offensive spark, hitting KC Concepcion on a long touchdown earlier in practice and then finishing a 2-minute drill with an end-zone throw to Gage Larvadain.
Deshaun Watson still took first-team reps, opening with completions to Jerry Jeudy and Jack Stoll as the Browns mixed 7-on-7, 11-on-11 and red-zone situational work on Day 5.
