The Facts: Hawkins, the Browns' top slot receiver candidate, tweaked his left hamstring later in the practice and sat out the rest of the afternoon. He had the leg wrapped with ice for part of the time. "Yeah, these hamstrings this time of year, it's unfortunate, but I think he'll be OK,' HC Hue Jackson said. "I don't know how bad it is, but it is a hamstring. We'll handle that accordingly and get him back out there as soon as we can."

Diehards Line: Given the dearth of experienced talent at wideout in Cleveland, Hawkins could be in line for a significant role to start the season if he can stay healthy. Recent reports have indicated that Hawkins and rookie Rashard Higgins could be the first men up after rookie Corey Coleman -- at least until Josh Gordon's four-week suspension ends.
