NFL Notes: Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Redskins, & Vikings

Browns

• LT Joe Thomas mentioned that new OC Kyle Shanahan’s system is “totally different (than any system I’ve been in). It’s almost all outside zones.” (Nate Ulrich)

Chiefs

• First-round pick OLB Dee Ford worked with the second-team defense in pass-rush situations. (Adam Teicher)
• There is an “intense kicking battle” between the Ryan Succop and rookie free agent Cairo Santo going on. (Adam Teicher)
• WR Dwayne Bowe and Donnie Avery look like the team’s top-two receivers with Junior Hemingway and A.J. Jenkins as their backups. (Adam Teicher)
• New OT Ryan Harris has already received a “lot of work.” (Adam Teicher)

Falcons

• LB Pat Angerer‘s one-year deal with the Falcons is worth $730,000 and includes no signing bonus. His 2014 cap figure will be $570,000. (Adam Caplan)

Redskins

• WR Pierre Garcon left Monday’s practice early due to a sore right hamstring, but it doesn’t appear to be anything serious. (Mike Jones)
• RB Evan Royster missed his third straight practice with a strained left hamstring. (Mike Jones)

Vikings

• The Vikings could end up holding RB Adrian Peterson out of the preseason. (Ian Rapoport)
