BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Josh Cribbs expects to make plays for the Cleveland Browns. He’s just not sure in what manner.
Cribbs caught a few passes, lined up in the backfield a few times, and even completed a pass Friday at practice.
That’s nothing new for the dynamic kick returner. The Browns are always trying to implement his breakaway talent into their offense. A year ago, Cribbs was the key part of a wildcat formation often employed by Eric Mangini, fired as coach after a 5-11 finish.
New coach Pat Shurmur won’t be utilizing the wildcat much, but intends to try and get the ball into Cribbs’ hands as often as possible in other ways.
Cribbs returned to practice after missing a few days with a strained left knee.
