Nate Orchard’s Week 1 absence was a product of caution and the numbers game on a largely healthy Cleveland Browns roster.
Week 2 promises to be much, much different for the Browns’ second-round pick from Utah.
Orchard’s back injury, which also sidelined him for the final two preseason games, is a thing of the past. Additionally, and perhaps more impactful toward how many snaps Orchard plays Sunday against the Titans, starter Scott Solomon will be sidelined for the next few weeks with an ankle injury.
That means the Browns will need more from the likes of Armonty Bryant, Barkevious Mingo and, of course, Orchard.
