The Browns got startling news on their day off on Tuesday when they had to place tight end David Njoku on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Browns are already going to be short tight end Harrison Bryant, who has a high ankle sprain, and now the team that loves playing three tight ends more than anyone is down to just one of their regular starters at the position.
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed what potentially missing Njoku could mean for the Browns in their rematch with Baltimore on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium. Then they try to decide who is the best team in the AFC North?

The Browns will hold rookie minicamp this weekend and our Football Insider subscribers had some questions about what to expect when the Browns rookies take the field.
It's where Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start Tuesday's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Which players are they most interested in seeing and what do they hope to learn?
They also talk a little about Jamari Thrash and the rest of the receivers and how it all fits together.
Then they get into whether Deshaun Watson will throw during OTAs or minicamp and if Nick Chubb could make an appearance before they discuss a little about where the Browns rank in the AFC and how big of a factor Watson's health is in all of it.

What will we learn at Browns rookie minicamp? Hey, Mary Kay!

Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson's rookie season ended prematurely last year with a hip injury and, in some ways, he became the forgotten man in the quarterback room. This time a year ago, he began his rise to backup quarterback and now he faces questions about his role on this year's team.
Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe started their Monday Orange and Brown Talk Podcast discussing Thompson-Robinson, who Mary Kay spoke with over the weekend. What can we expect from him in the offseason and will we see him throwing?
Then they talk about the defensive tackle room and how it will all come together.
They also discuss Justin Hardee, who Ashley wrote a feature on, and what she learned about him in the process and why he's so important to this team.
They wrap up by talking about Duke Johnson, who announced his retirement on Sunday night.
