Browns | Neither kicker stepping up Tue Jul 30, 08:09 PM

Browns | Kicking competition update Tue Jul 2, 02:35 PM
Updating a previous report, the Cleveland Browns PK competition will likely be resolved in the preseason, with the possibility the that the team could both PKs Shayne Graham and Brandon Bogotay. 'It's been close. It's been back and forth,' Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said of the kicking battle this spring. 'Obviously, you get into the preseason and those games and that will be a very important part of the process of the evaluation. But it's ongoing all the way through.'
