It's a different approach with practice closed to the public
The players are in shells and shorts and the practice is closed to the public.
The emphasis is on fundamental drills and some things to know about their opponent Saturday in Cleveland.
The offense and defense haven’t gone against each other at full speed yet.
The practice won’t be as long as normal camp days.
