The Cleveland Browns' rough start in their first preseason game included an injury to one of their key offensive players. On Cleveland's second offensive play, starting center Nick Harris was carted off the field after sustaining a right knee injury. Ethan Pocic replaced Harris in the lineup.

CLEVELAND — The Cavs are hitting the court this fall with four preseason games scheduled from Oct. 5 to 14. Two of the games will be at home at Rocket Mortgage Field House and two will be away.

The injury bug has hit the Browns wide receiver room hard this offseason, and it carried over into Tuesday's practice as Jakeem Grant was carted off the field after an apparent ankle injury.

You would think that the Cleveland Indians changing their name after 106 years would be the biggest story of the year, but with the upstart Cavaliers returning to championship contention and the Browns throwing away franchise QB Baker Mayfield for the controversial Deshaun Watson, many seem to forget the Guardians are even there at all. However, the Cleveland Guardians are here and even with all the injuries and roster turnovers, Manager Terry Francona has them on the verge of a playoff spot. Many wanted to see the Dolans and front office make a splash move this past offseason to kick start the rebrand, but now is their chance to redeem that hope at the trade deadline. Cleveland has had success at the deadline in years past, with acquisitions like Andrew Miller, Corey Kluber, Josh Naylor, Cliff Lee, and even Shoeless Joe Jackson. Fans want to see the team be aggressive and go get big names by Tuesday’s 6pm deadline, so here are 6 players the team should bring in:
