Browns' Alex Wright: Prepping for greater role
Wright could play a large role in Sunday's game against the Falcons with both starting defensive ends Myles Garrett (shoulder) and Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) listed as questionable, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.
Wright, a rookie third-round pick out of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, has seen his snap count increase each week over the first three games.
