BEREA: Alex Mack didn’t wear a brace or compression sleeve.
He didn’t show any rust during calisthenics.
If the Browns didn’t hold the two-time Pro Bowl center out of team drills Tuesday as a precaution, there would not have been any visible reminder of the season-ending broken leg he suffered seven months ago.
Mack is back, and the Browns are confident he’ll be better than ever.
“Alex is ready to go,” coach Mike Pettine said after the team’s first practice of organized team activities. “I’m sure he’ll tell you that, but that’s just something where we just want to probably be a lot more conservative with it.
