"Pierre has done a really nice job in special
teams, a really nice job in the run game, pass protection, pass
game, obviously has always been good in that area," Cleveland
coach Kevin Stefanski said.
Stefanski also confirmed that cornerback Denzel Ward has a
concussion, his fifth. Ward has been in concussion protocol
since Aug. 12.
"We have a great medical team and great resources when guys are
in that protocol, and I'm confident in that," Stefanski said.
Stefanski also said that safety Ronnie Hickman is "close" to
returning from an injury.
Meanwhile, quarterback Deshaun Watson had some general arm
soreness and was limited at practice on Wednesday.
"I decided to hold back a little bit with him, but not overly
concerned," Stefanski said of Watson. "He could have gone. He's
feeling fine."
Strong is the second Browns running back to leave practice in an
ambulance. D'Onta Foreman was taken to the hospital with a neck
injury early in training camp. He has since returned to action.
The Browns acquired Strong in a trade with the New England
Patriots in late August 2023. With Nick Chubb still on the
physically unable to perform list, Strong is listed No. 2 on the
Browns' depth chart behind Jerome Ford.
Strong rushed for 291 yards and a touchdown in 17 games (one
start) last season and caught five passes for 47 yards.
