Cleveland Browns:T.J. Carrie overcame heart surgery to earn NFL

starting status (Browns Wire) - Never accuse Browns cornerback T.J. Carrie of not having his heart in the game. Carrie’s heart problems nearly derailed his football career Greg Joseph Jersey , but the Ohio University product has kept fighting to keep the NFL dreams alive and kicking.How life has shaped the way Jabrill Peppers approaches his career (ohio.com) - Jabrill Peppers sat on the Browns’ bus Oct. 21 at Raymond James Stadium when a member of the team’s communications staff found him and explained reporters had requested an interview. Peppers didn’t hide. Within minutes, he addressed media in the visitor’s locker room and blamed himself entirely for the Browns losing 26-23 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because he fumbled at the end of a 14-yard punt return in overtime and Chandler Catanzaro made the 59-yard, game-winning field goal six plays later. Baker Mayfield mic’d up vs. Falcons (cleveland.com) - If you thought Baker Mayfield was funny during his post-game press conference during Sunday’s 28-16 victory over the Falcons, you should’ve heard him during the game.NFL:Rams Aaron Donald fined for going after Justin Britt (ESPN) - Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald said he hoped he would not be fined after a series of altercations in the Rams’ game against the Seattle Seahawks. No such luck, as Donald was fined more than $23,000 for his actions in Sunday’s game.Trumaine Johnson has been an expensive disappointment (PFT) - When the Jets signed cornerback Trumaine Johnson to a five-year Jabrill Peppers Color Rush Jersey , $72 million contract this offseason, the thought was he should come in and immediately improve the Jets’ defense. In a sense, he did, as he intercepted a pass in Week One. But since then, the results have not been pretty.Giants want more “dirty runs” from Saquon Barkley (nj.com) - Pat Shurmur wants Saquon Barkley to be more accepting of the between-the-tackles short gain, rather than looking to hit a home run on every rush. Now that Barkley is getting more carries -- he had a season-high 20 last week E.J. Gaines Color Rush Jersey , his first time over 15 since Week 3 -- maybe it will be easier to not feel like every one is do or die. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield had X-rays after Sunday’s loss to the Titans and left the stadium with his right hand and wrist wrapped, but it doesn’t look like there’s any problem lingering into this week’s work.The team said those X-rays were negative and head coach Freddie Kitchens was unconcerned about Mayfield’s status on Monday, which were good signs followed by another big one on Tuesday. Mayfield took part in practice without any wrap on his hand or wrist and, per Nate Ulrich of the , was throwing well in individual drills.The Browns don’t play the Jets until Monday night and therefore won’t issue an injury report until Thursday. Tuesday’s development makes it unlikely that Mayfield’s status is going to be in any doubt regardless of when that report comes out.Ulrich also reported that safety Damarious Randall and linebacker Adarius Taylor were not on the field during the open portion of the practice. No reason has been given for either absence at this point. Runinng back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) and tackle Kendall Lamm (knee) were also out.
