Preparation for Week 1 of the regular season
With the final week of the preseason in the review mirror, and two weeks before the season opener on Sept. 7, the Browns have an opportunity to continue preparing the beginning of the regular season.
They will hold three practices during the upcoming week before the mandatory three-day break over the weekend. However, Stefanski said this week provides an opportunity for the Browns to home in on themselves before they turn their full focus to preparing for the Bengals.
"I do think you want to guard against going too far into the Bengals with your football team until you get later in the week, obviously, because there's that three-day mandatory break," Stefanski said. "So, you don't want to overload your players mentally just yet. So, a lot of what we'll do this week will be about sharpening our scheme, sharpening our fundamentals and techniques, those types of things. And we'll do a good bit of Browns versus Brown, so still a good bit of competitive periods out there at the practice fields."
