Welcome to another episode of the From the Podium podcast, and happy Friday, everyone.

I'm Gabe Kalura. The Browns wrap their final practice of the week today, and they'll head to Cincinnati tomorrow to play the Bengals this coming Sunday.

On this episode, you'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefansky, running backs coach coach Duce Staley, defensive line coach Jacques Cesar and defensive and Miles Garrett.

Up first is head coach Kevin Stafansky, who discussed the challenge of another AFC North rivalry game.

All right, good week of practice, good to be outside, energy, juice.

Guys are really competing hard, so got to go on the road, play really well as a team to

find a way to win versus a good football team. So that's our focus. But with that, I'll take any

questions. Either said or Martin are close to clearing the protocol. They're in the appropriate place

in that protocol. You know, you just have to follow each step, and we're hopeful on both guys.

With said, Kevin, usually a guy doesn't practice for two weeks before clearing that protocol.

So I'm just curious how that kind of works where he's allowed to practice, but isn't out of the protocol.

Yeah, I'd have to get into the ins and out of that thing, which is, you know, it's a really good protocol.

They do a great job communicating with us, which the guys can and can't do based on how

they're feeling and that type of thing.

So we'll just follow it to a T, really.

Yeah, I think he's good.

Good to go.

Just felt a little something, but he'll be okay.

I know he didn't practice for several days, but today, that hamstring is, I mean, I imagine something that right up to the game time with him.

He practiced today. He's very motivated to play. We'll see how he responds to practicing today and make the decision on Sunday.

How do you felt that ECR has looked over this past week of taking discovery around?

Yeah, I think he's doing a nice job. I think it's so important for young quarterbacks, young players, period, to get better every single day of the week.
