Browns' Isaiah Crowell: Joins team for OTAs

Crowell, who was absent from previous voluntary workouts throughout the offseason, participated in the Browns' first organized team activity on Tuesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis:

Crowell signed his restricted free-agent tender in May, but there were still questions as to whether he would wait until June's mandatory minicamp to report. The 24-year-old has a firm grasp on the starting job at running back in Cleveland, while joining the team for OTAs boosts his standing with the coaching staff.
