Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

We are doing a countdown to the Cleveland Browns' first regular season game against the New York Jets, which is on September 13, 2015. For each day we are counting down, we will try to find a photo of a current or past member of the Browns in that uniform, and we'll also list the players who have donned that jersey in the past.

As of Sunday, we are just 56 days away from the Browns' regular season opener. No. 56 is currently being worn by starting inside linebacker Karlos Dansby. Two notable players to have worn the jersey in the past include OL John Morrow and LB Chip Banks. Here is the list of players who have worn No. 56 in the history of the franchise, per Pro Football Reference:
