Running back Kareem Hunt was cleared to start practicing at training

camp over the weekend Briean Boddy-Calhoun Jersey , but the groin injury that kept him off the field last week wasn’t the only topic of conversation when he met the media on Monday.Hunt was asked about an incident at a Cleveland bar earlier this summer that resulted in a conversation with police that was caught on video. Hunt spoke to the Browns about it at the time and General Manager John Dorsey said that they do not expect any league discipline as a result.On Monday, Hunt said he will “lay low and just continue to work to be a better person” after an incident he called a misunderstanding.“I appreciate that the Browns still have my back,” Hunt said, via Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan. “It was just something that was a misunderstanding. I know I can’t have that, so I look to move forward and continue bettering myself.”Hunt will be serving an eight-game suspension to open the year as a result of another incident that included video of him kicking and shoving a woman. He was released by the Chiefs when that video surfaced last year and signed by the Browns in February. Third-round pick in 2018 was invisible as a rookie, but team is hoping for more from defensive end this year." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesDawgs EDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Browns working to create opportunities for Chad ThomasTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Rob Foldy/Getty ImagesIt pays to have friends in high places. For proof, look no further than defensive end Chad Thomas Joe Schobert Color Rush Jersey , a third-round selection by the Cleveland Browns in the 2018 NFL Draft. Thomas had a rookie season to forget as he was a regular addition to the weekly inactive list and ultimately only saw the field for 22 plays all season. Despite that, the Browns are hoping for more from Thomas, who finished his four-year collegiate career at the University of Miami with 10 sacks, 26 tackles for loss and 103 total tackles.Alonzo Highsmith, the Browns vice president of player personnel and, like Thomas, a former Hurricane https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Ricardo-Louis-Jersey , highlighted the second-year defensive end as someone who will “have an opportunity to play” in Sunday’s episode of Building the Browns. Thomas also has general manager John Dorsey in his corner, and Dorsey has shown a willingness to create opportunities for his draft picks to see the field. (See the trade of right guard Kevin Zeitler to clear a path for Austin Corbett as an example.)Back in February, Dorsey appeared on the team’s in-house show Cleveland Browns Daily anddropped a hint about opening up a path for Corbett and Thomas, according to 247Sports:The trade of defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah cleared out one of the obstacles in the way of Thomas seeing more playing time. Training camp and the preseason will probably move someone else out of the way.All kidding aside, the Browns invested a third-round pick in Thomas, so they need to start seeing a return on that, especially given the lack of production from the backups along the defensive line last season. So while Highsmith and Dorsey have a vested interest in Thomas David Njoku Jersey , a more objective take comes from Clyde Simmons, who worked as the team’s defensive line coach in 2018. An early injury slowed Thomas during training camp, and once the regular season got rolling the opportunities for him to show what he could do were limited. But Simmons still likes Thomas’ potential, as he told cleveland.com in January:The Browns are doing what they can to create an opportunity for Thomas to show why he was worth drafting in 2018. What he does with the opportunity is now up to him.
