Denzel Boston Beats 3 Bills Cornerbacks in Browns Joint Practice as Alex Wright Injury Clouds Day

3 articles · Updated · Dawgs By Nature · Aug 21

Summary

  • Denzel Boston emerged as Cleveland's standout in Thursday's joint practice, with Bills observers saying the rookie receiver consistently won his matchups in Berea.
  • One-on-one reps drove that praise: Boston mostly got the better of Maxwell Hairston and Davison Igbinosun, then beat top corner Christian Benford on a third-and-2 slant for an 8-yard gain.
  • Todd Monken still came away encouraged by how Cleveland matched up with a Super Bowl contender, even as the Browns defense struggled against Josh Allen's team.
  • Alex Wright's injury put a damper on the session, which otherwise served as a key test before the Browns and Bills meet in their second preseason game Saturday.
