And the Patriots fans groaned...
#Patriots got the wrong #Bills WR. RT @terrypluto: So glad that veteran receiver David Nelson is CLEARED to play...need him for depth.

This is exceptionally good news for the Browns WR depth. I feel that part of the reason the Browns were kicking the tires on Donald Jones and other veteran WR's recently was because of the uncertainty surrounding Nelson's knee, and because Josh Gordon will be missing the first two games. If the wideouts all make it through camp healthy, a rotation of Little, Benjamin, Bess, Nelson, and Norwood will be plenty of targets for whomever is under center.
Day two of training camp commences today, with the public allowed to watch at 4:00 pm.
