Training camp continued for the Cleveland Browns on Thursday with their first fully padded practice at The Greenbrier in West Virginia. During Thursday’s practice, young linebacker Tony Fields II was seen on the side in a walking boot.
Fields has been with the team since 2021, when he was selected in the fifth round of that year’s draft. He has struggled with injuries at times since being with the Browns and could be on the outside looking in when roster cuts happen at the end of the preseason.
He needed a strong camp to make the roster, and missing time will not help his case to stay on the 53-man roster. Over his time in Cleveland, he has played a total of 501 snaps and been a key part of special teams.
With Fields out that will give Nathaniel Watson and Mohamoud Diabate a chance to step up and try to secure roster spots for themselves.
