On Monday, the Browns learned that wide receiver Rashard Higgins will miss 2-4 weeks of action with a sprained MCL. Rishard Matthews will work out for the team today and could theoretically help to fill the void, but coach Hue Jackson says the Browns are inclined to stick with their current options. 
“We’ll see. I mean, I haven’t seen [GM] John [Dorsey] since I was down there earlier. But we’ll see how it unfolds. We have some good candidates here, and I like our guys that are here. So we’ll just see how it all unfolds as we go through the day,” Jackson said. “I feel like [backup receivers Rod Streater, Derrick Willies, and sixth-round rookie Damion Ratley] know our system, know exactly what we’re looking for and know how to come in and practice the way we do and understand what the opportunity would be for them, not that I wouldn’t like somebody else who could really play. But it’s just hard to find those kind of guys at this time, guys that can come in and really contribute right away just ’cause they haven’t practiced with you, don’t know the system. Guys that you have to get caught up to speed, sometimes it just doesn’t work out as well.”
Free agent receiver Dez Bryant, who was in talks with the Browns earlier this year, may face longer odds of joining the club. When asked about the ex-Cowboys star, Jackson said that he hasn’t discussed the possibility with Dorsey recently.
The Browns thinned out their receiver corps in September by trading Josh Gordon to the Patriots, but Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway, and Higgins have been keeping the passing offense afloat. Even without Higgins, it sounds like the Browns are comfortable with the players they already have.
Dez Bryant is a locker room cancer.
+1
Sorry didn’t know you were in the locker rooms to know. Hasn’t been suspended in a while, can’t remember him talking bad about the cowboys when he was there… He’s not a cancer he regressed fast and when you have bad QBs like Dak and Romo’s backups throwing you the ball of course you’re gonna regress , why is that everyone’s go to on here? Players are either cancer or a thug apparently.
Clark K he did make comments directly toward Jerry Jones in his last season with the cowboys and many young teams like the Browns can’t risk him talking up to the authority causing young guys to do it.
Well when it’s been publicly printed by players?
I wasn’t in the delivery room but I’m pretty sure your mom gave birth to you.
Guess u finally get what I was saying all along bro! Has talent, but just can’t stay out of trouble
He’d rather have worse players because they know the system? How about sign players who have talent and teach them the system? This season is going to be a process anyway, it seems like Hue just doesn’t want to put in any effort. For someone who’s been on the hot seat for years, it’s really not a good look at all. This team would be so much better with someone else at the helm.
Bryant is a cancer. If you watch the Amazon Prime tv series “All or Nothing” (with the Dallas Cowboys) the show shared footage of the mouth he has. I understand, he’s a football player and wants to achieve certain goals, but to talk to your WR coach like he did.. I wouldn’t want him either. Coming from a Browns fan, Hue Jackson has not had the talent for the past seasons like he has now. Things have changed. Hue has changed the culture around the team. Everyone loves him. Remember, he was OC and HC for previous seasons since he’s been with the Browns. Now that he has an OC, he can focus more on other things even though I question certain play calls with Haley. And to add, Hue’s not in charge of making trades, Dorsey is. Hue has to use the personnel he has until a trade or a free agent is signed.
