Cleveland Browns FS Jamoris Slaughter (Achilles') was cleared for all football activities. "I'm cleared at this point to do everything, so I've been feeling really good," said Slaughter. "I've been working out hard with the team, just waiting to get back for training camp."

Browns | Jordan Cameron working on becoming starter

Cleveland Browns TE Jordan Cameron said he has been working on becoming the team's starting tight end this season and has been learning offensive coordinator Norv Turner's scheme.

"The confidence is huge with that, and I think I get more confidence every day, learning new things. With [tight ends coach Jon Embree], he really knows the details and how to make you a better player, whether it be blocking or positioning or route-running." Cameron said the new offense is allowing tight ends to run deep routes.
