The Cleveland Browns will be coming to town.
On Monday morning, from the site of this year's league meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that his team will participate in a joint practice with the Carolina Panthers this summer. The session, which is set to take place ahead of the first week of preseason play, will go down from Charlotte, N.C.
Panthers head coach Dave Canales talked about the plans with Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer.
"We were just both curious about getting this joint practice going into preseason,” Canales said of Stefanski. “And we got excited about the format of what that could look like. We feel like at that point in camp, you’re starting to build some good capacity to be able to handle a little bit more volume, a little higher speed, and getting the competitive element. Particularly because we both plan on playing our guys in the preseason."
The Browns will mark a bit of change for the Panthers, who had hosted the New York Jets for joint practices in each of the past two summers.
