The Cleveland Browns are back on the practice field on Wednesday in Berea, once again for voluntary activities. A few veterans, including DE Myles Garrett, are unlikely to attend until mandatory minicamp opens up in June. The Browns roster has undergone a ton of changes since the start of last year, and GM Andrew Berry switched out defensive backs between offseason sessions as well.

That makes all of these offseason activities under new HC Todd Monken so important. Players need to get reps with each other and coaches need to see what they have on the field.

On the other hand, injury risks this early in the offseason are also concerning. DT Mike Hall Jr. went down with an apparent right leg injury while the team was going through walk-throughs:

Coming off the field, Hall was not putting pressure on his right leg.

Hall was a second-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, out of The Ohio State University, but has struggled to make an impact despite a great defense around him. In 17 games, Hall has accounted for 2.5 sacks, 25 tackles, 10 QB hits, and 5 tackles for loss.

A few hours after the OTA practice ended, a sigh of relief that Hall's injury does not look to be a serious one:

#Browns update on DT Mike Hall Jr., who left with a leg injury today: After initial medical evaluation, not believed to be serious but was held out of practice as a precaution."

Good initial information, but whether Hall can participate in following sessions and mandatory minicamp will be something worth watching.
