Training Camp Day 3: Here's what happened during the first day fans could attend

Friday was Day 3 of the Cleveland Browns' training camp in Berea—the first day of camp that fans were able to attend this summer. There are, and will be, plenty of storylines to follow this summer as the Browns prepare for the 2026 season. We'll keep you updated on all of them.

Here's what we saw on the third day of the Browns' 2026 Training Camp:

Defense working
The Browns defense is pushing each other as they aim to keep the standard high on their side of the ball. That was represented well during a get-off drill during their individual period, where new pass rusher Jared Verse and defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. went head-to-head in a heated competition.

What we heard at camp:
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and managing partner JW Johnson spoke to media after Friday's practice session. Haslam was asked when he'd like to know who the quarterback would be in the new stadium, which is slated to open for the 2029 season.

"Listen, somebody might have a great year, and they're our quarterback forever. Or neither of them might. I think it's way, way, way early to be talking about who's going to be our quarterback next year. We've got to figure out who's going to start the first game," he said.

Haslam was also asked if Deshaun Watson were to win the QB1 job over Shedeur Sanders, if he could see a future where Watson is on the team beyond this year.

“I think there's all kinds of possibilities out there, so yes. But here again, we’ve got to get through practice. I think our quarterbacks will play in the exhibition games. That's obviously Todd's call and figure out who’s going to start," Haslam said.

Browns head coach Todd Monken was asked how much he might have changed concepts and installed from what he's seen from his players this spring and early into the summer.

"I think there’s some of that, but we are who we are, what we believe in, so you’re right in some ways. Like, where are you going to go with it? Are you going to make the players fit what we believe in? Or are you going to fit that with the players you have?'" Monken said. "That’s still a work in progress until we get the pads on; there’s a lot of that comes into play that you may have to lean on one way or another. Especially at the quarterback position, in terms of what they like, what they don’t, and what you’re able to do well consistently. That’s a great question, because both come into play – what we do, what we like, and what they do well. Then it’s our job to streamline that to give us the best chance to score.”

Linebacker Carson Schwesinger spoke about working alongside linebacker Quincy Williams, who the Browns added this offseason.

"I love having Quincy here. He's got a lot of energy, so you can count on that every day. And just the experience, especially in the meeting room, things he knows just from having played for so long. And then, I mean, if you watch him play, he doesn't even look like he's played for that long because of how fast he moves. And then I think just the bond. When you're around guys all day, you get closer. And so that's grown as he showed up to now," Schwesinger said.

Schewinger also talked about defensive tackle Mason Graham and how his impact goes beyond the stat sheet.

"His stats don't show even close to how disruptive he was, especially as the year went on. And so I think even just watching the OTAs to practice to now, just the growth he's had, I think he's going to have even more disruption and make a whole lot of plays this year," he said.
