Browns LT Jedrick Wills Jr., RB Jerome Ford back at practice

Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr., running back Jerome Ford and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin returned to practice Friday.

Wills (foot), Ford (ankle) and Goodwin (back) all missed practices Wednesday and Thursday as the Browns (4-2) prepare to visit the Seattle Seahawks (4-2) on Sunday.

Wills, 24, has started all six games this season. He has made 51 starts since the Browns drafted him 10th overall in 2020.

Ford, 23, has started three of his six games in 2023, rushing for 344 yards and two TDs and catching 14 passes for 104 yards and two scores. He was Cleveland’s fifth-round pick in 2022.

Goodwin, 32, has three catches on nine targets for 10 yards and has rushed three times for 38 yards in six games. He has 190 receptions for 3,033 yards and 18 touchdowns in 108 games (44 starts) with five teams since 2013.

Browns WR Marquise Goodwin out due to blood clots in lungs, legs

Veteran wide receiver Marquise Goodwin, who signed with the Cleveland Browns in March, was placed on the non-football illness list Friday due to blood clots.

The Browns said Goodwin would miss the start of training camp this month after a doctor’s check-up revealed blood clots in his lungs and legs. Goodwin had been dealing with slight shortness of breath and leg discomfort.

“It was really alarming at first because I’ve experienced injury throughout my career, but it’s never been anything like this that could turn into something detrimental if it’s not taken care of,” Goodwin told the team’s website. “It was frightening at first, but now I’m at ease with it. I’ve prayed and just given it over to God. It’s out of my control, and the only thing I can control is my effort and attitude and how I approach each day moving forward.”

Goodwin will still be around the team when camp opens, attending meetings and being present on the practice field without participating.

“I’m grateful for that, and hopefully this thing gets back under control and I can feel my body and what I need to feel so I can help this team make this run,” Goodwin said.

Goodwin, 32, spent last season with the Seattle Seahawks and caught 27 passes for 387 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games (two starts).

In nine NFL seasons spent with the Buffalo Bills (2013-16), San Francisco 49ers (2017-19), Chicago Bears (2021) and Seahawks, he has 187 career receptions for 3,023 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Clemson names new coordinators after both left for head coaching jobs

Clemson promoted Brandon Streeter to offensive coordinator and Wes Goodwin to defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Tuesday, replacing two coordinators who left to take over other programs.

Previous defensive coordinator Brent Venables accepted the head coaching job at Oklahoma, while former offensive coordinator Tony Elliott is now in charge at Virginia.

Streeter was Clemson’s quarterbacks coach and will retain that title in addition to the promotion. He has served as both the run-game coordinator and pass-game coordinator at different points for Clemson since joining the staff in 2015.

Goodwin was a senior defensive assistant. Safeties coach Mickey Conn was also given the role of co-defensive coordinator Tuesday, though primary defensive play-calling duties will belong to Goodwin.

Goodwin is wrapping up his 10th overall season at Clemson amid his second tenure with the program.

“I’m just really, really excited about the people that we have in place,” head coach Dabo Swinney said in a statement. “I’ve always taken a lot of pride in developing our players and developing our team, but I also take a lot of pride in developing our staff.”

Clemson, which finished the regular season 9-3 and will play Iowa State in the Cheez-It Bowl, also lost athletic director Dan Radakovich, who left to take the same position at Miami. A full-time replacement has not been hired.
