The Browns added a wide receiver before they lost another one.

Cleveland signed free agent Breshad Perriman after injuries to Rashard Higgins and Derrick Willies cut into the depth of an already inexperienced group.Perriman Authentic JC Tretter Jersey , a former first-round draft pick, worked out for Cleveland on Saturday, a day after Willies broke his collarbone during practice. The Browns placed Willies on injured reserve, but there is hope he might be able to play again later this season.An undrafted rookie, Willies came off the bench last week against Baltimore after Higgins injured his right knee and made the game's biggest play, a 39-yard reception in overtime that set up Cleveland's game-winning field goal. Willies finished with three catches for 61 yards.Willies was set to be Cleveland's No. 3 receiver in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but his injury will give rookie Damion Ratley more playing time.The Browns (2-2-1) have only Ratley, Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway and Rod Streater to face the Chargers (3-2). Streater and Ratley have not caught passes this season.It's unlikely Perriman will be active after just joining the team, but the 25-year-old could be an option going forward.Perriman has not lived up to expectations since the Ravens selected him with the No. 26 overall pick in 2015. He missed his rookie season with a knee injury. Perriman caught 33 passes for 499 yards and three touchdowns in his second season, but he struggled with inconsistency and was released this summer.He visited the Browns during training camp and worked out for several other teams. Baker Mayfield's baptism with the Browns is complete.Some coaching chaos made it official.Cleveland's rookie quarterback admitted Wednesday he was stunned by the firings of coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who were dismissed within an hour of each other on Monday. Owner Jimmy Haslam cited "internal discord" as the primary reason behind the team's latest reboot."It was just surprising to me," Mayfield said before practice as the Browns began preparing for their game Sunday against quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the high-scoring Kansas City Chiefs. "I have never gone through anything like that. That is my 'welcome to the business moment,' I think."Sadly, coaching swaps and front-office purges are a rite of passage for any Browns player over the past 20 years."This is my third head coach in five years," said linebacker Christian Kirksey. "I am used to it, being able to adjust and stuff."It's mostly new to Mayfield, who went through something similar at Oklahoma when Bob Stoops retired and was replaced by Lincoln Riley."It was different. It was new to us. We used that to come together Womens Damarious Randall Jersey ," he said. "I expect the guys in here to be grown men, to be experienced football players and to handle it that way and keep that same mindset of that we have the same goal. We need to reach that and work with each other."With all the distractions, we will see what kind of men we have in this room. Not what kind of team that we have but what kind of men can handle a distraction the right way, can come together and focus on doing their job and doing it at a high level against a great team come Sunday," Mayfield said.As the No. 1 overall pick and fresh face of Cleveland's franchise, Mayfield knows he has to be the one to guide the Browns through more turbulence."Bring it on," he said.The Browns (2-5-1) practiced Wednesday for the first time under the guidance of defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, Buffalo's former coach who will serve as the team's interim coach while general manager John Dorsey takes the initial steps in finding Cleveland's ninth coach since 1999.Rain forced the team inside its facility and the tone was noticeably serious during the portion of the workout open to media members. Williams barked out praise to a few players during position drills.Following practice, Williams said that like Mayfield, he was shocked by the firings and admitted to having reservations about taking over."The hesitancy was, 'Uh, not again,' and I stepped away," he said. "I stepped back, but then, it came back to this. I can't spell quit, let alone do quit. I'm not going to quit on these players. I'm not going to quit on this organization. I'm not going to do whatever. That's just how I had to feel, and when we went through the process Youth Terrance Mitchell Jersey , we went through the process, and now, let's get on to Kansas City. I blinked a little bit.The brash and boastful Williams didn't announce his candidacy for the job, and he refused to address his role in the New Orleans "Bountygate" scandal.The NFL suspended Williams for the 2012 season after ruling that while the Saints defensive coordinator he orchestrated a program by which players were paid for knocking opponents from a game."That thing was a long time ago," Williams said when asked if he ever imagined being a head coach again. "That's nothing that we're talking about now."The Browns are trying to stay in the present, and that's the challenge.As the losses mount, this season is beginning to feel like so many others. But left guard Joel Bitonio doesn't feel the same sense of dread as in previous years."I don't think we're giving up," he said. "This is a step to try to improve the team. We made a decision early in the season, but we have half the season left. We're a few plays here and there from being 5-2-1 or 4-3-1."We're not far away, and I don't think this is a step where they're tearing everything down. We're just moving in a different direction. We have eight games to prove this team can go out, compete and try to find some wins out there."NOTES: Because of his connection to Mayfield, Riley has been mentioned as a potential candidate for Cleveland's coaching job. Mayfield feels his former coach would adapt easily to the pro game. "I think his style would work, but that is just because of who he is," Mayfield said. "He is smart. He gets his guys to believe in him." ... With RBs coach Freddie Kitchens taking over for Haley, the Browns hired former NFL back Ryan Lindley to their staff. Lindley played for Kitchens with Arizona.
