Cleveland Browns defensive end Alex Wright is sidelined after a scary practice injury, with coach Todd Monken withholding details until the weekend — a move that’s raising eyebrows given Wright’s critical role and recent big contract. In his absence, versatile rookie Mike Hall Jr. stepped into the edge rusher spot, showing flashes of explosiveness that could reshape the defensive line. This shift might also open up more playing time for Mason Graham and Maliek Collins in the middle. With no proven pass-rush options on the roster — despite attempts to re-sign veterans like Clowney and Smith — GM Andrew Berry may soon turn to the trade market. The team’s quiet approach around Wright’s injury could be intentional, preserving leverage as they navigate roster moves before the season kicks off.
