Browns training camp: Injury updates on Amari Cooper, Grant Delpit & Matthew Adams

While the NFL’s CBA has mostly taken physicality out of early training camps, injuries still occur quite frequently. Getting back into football shape, using muscle and tendon groups that can only be used doing football drills and practicing with other players can often lead to problems.
