Jordan Hicks' journey began as a third-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, where he spent four seasons and won a Super Bowl in 2018. He shared an emotional note to announce his retirement.

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. Ford, the Browns’ leading rusher in 2024, did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to an injury Stefanski said happened over the last couple of weeks but added the fourth-year back would be OK.

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.
