The Browns suffered a huge scare at practice.
The team is currently counting on backup QB Jacoby Brissett to lead the team while Deshaun Watson serves his 11-game suspension.
During one of the team’s latest practice sessions, Brissett appeared to hit his hand on a defender’s helmet.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was not happy to see a defensive player on the team get a bit too close to Brissett.
“I was seeing red for a minute there,” Stefanski said during a press conference on Thursday. “It is a rule [not to contact the quarterback].
“Our guys have done an awesome job all camp of staying away from the quarterback, and we just have to continue to do a good job there.”
Brissett is set to set to play in the team’s final preseason game despite banging his hand.
“Jacoby is going to play,” Stefanski said. “The starters are going to play. We’ll see for how long, will play that one kind of … we have a number in mind, but play that one by ear but Jacoby will play.”
