THEY WERE IN A SHIFT.

Dude sucks, but let’s not lose sight of the very NFL move of punishing a player for taking a drug that’s supposed to help his concussion.  

There’s an ad for The Handmaid’s Tale in the middle of this post and at a glance I thought was footage from a Browns practice.

The two-handed lunge is particularly impressive. I don’t think I could do that.
