Here are some highs and lows in terms of individual performances from the Cleveland Browns win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
HIGHS
Desmond Bryant: Two sacks in one possession stand out. Bryant is a very talented, underrated player who showed he can line up at different spots and be effective.
Thad Lewis: He’s been running third and fourth team through preseason and training camp, but given a chance with Johnny Manziel injured Lewis threw a lovely deep sideline ball while being hit to Josh Lenz, then ran for a touchdown.
Terrelle Pryor: Pryor didn’t play, but it might not matter. Game announcers on WEWS-Channel 5 said before and during the game that Mike Pettine said Pryor did not have to play the final two games to make the team as a wide receiver.
LOWS
Duke Johnson: Johnson didn’t get on the field until the third preseason game, then left in the second quarter with a concussion. Johnson now will be out again as he enters the NFL concussion protocol.
Pierre Desir: See the entry for Johnson. Desir had moved into the third corner spot early in camp, then missed two games with a hamstring. In the Bucs win, he was blindsided on a block and also left with a concussion.
