released CB/RET Corey Ballentine (signed him to the practice squad)

Elevated RG Tommy Kraemer and K Aldric Rosas

Browns review

Swift back-to-back 100-yard rushing games – first to do it since Kevin Jones in 2004

Boyle 77 yards passing – apparently the design was to protect the QB

Another game with a few questionable coaching calls at the end of the game

Kicking the field goal on 4th and 1

Draw play on 3rd and 14 – then punted and never got the ball back

Injury Report – Monday and Tuesday were walkthroughs

EDGE Trey Flowers (knee)
