Former Eagles linebacker Jordan Hicks had missed the first two days of Browns camp, and after some reflection, announced his retirement from the NFL after 10 seasons

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Jerome Ford is progressing well from the injury that has kept him out of the start of training camp practices.

A fresh face in Cleveland but a veteran around the NFL, Jerome Baker joins the Browns after a long stint with the Miami Dolphins. The former Ohio State Buckeye and Cleveland native returns home with a solid statistical resume. Last season, Baker recorded 61 total tackles, 2.0 sacks, and earned a 61.0 overall PFF grade.
