Cleveland Browns starting right guard Kevin Zeitler will miss several weeks of training camp because of a calf injury.

The 28-year-old Zeitler did not practice Thursday [url=http://www.authenticstampabaybuccaneers.com/cheap-m.j.-stewart-jersey]M.J. Stewart Color Rush Jersey[/url] , one day after being hurt and walking off the field with a trainer.

”Kevin is going to be OK, but he will be down for a little while,” coach Hue Jackson said. ”It is unfortunate, but we will get him back. Hopefully, he’ll be ready to go in the next couple weeks or so. Those things do happen in training camp.”

Zeitler has started all 48 games over the past three seasons, including 16 in his first year with the Browns. The 6-foot-4 [url=http://www.49ersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kentavius-street-jersey]http://www.49ersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kentavius-street-jersey[/url] , 315-pounder played with Cincinnati from 2012-2016.

Cleveland’s offensive line is in flux following the retirement of 10-time Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas.

Left guard Joel Bitonio, a second alternate for the Pro Bowl last season, has been moved to left tackle, where he is trying to block defensive end Myles Garrett in practice. Garrett was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2017.

”Myles is bringing it, and that’s the best look he can get every day,” Jackson said. ”It’s really fun to see because Joel is not giving up anything. It’s a battle and he’s doing well.”

Third-year pro Spencer Drango has filled in for Zeitler on the first team and will remain there.

”Spencer has played left guard [url=http://www.saintsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-tre_quan-smith-jersey]http://www.saintsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-tre_quan-smith-jersey[/url] , he’s played left tackle and he’s been on the right side before, so he has been all around,” Jackson said. ”That is a comfort that we have.”

The Browns hold their annual ”Orange and Brown” scrimmage Friday.

Four-time Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton followed this winter’s well-worn path from the Chicago Bears to the Miami Dolphins, and that’s not by accident.

After signing a two-year free agent contract with Miami that could be worth nearly $18 million including incentives, Sitton said he was drawn to the Dolphins by the recent hirings of assistant coaches Dowell Loggains and Jeremiah Washburn.

Both were with the Bears last year. Loggains is Miami’s new offensive coordinator.

”We’ve had a pretty good little friendship over the past couple of years,” Sitton said Friday. ”I love his style of coaching. I love his offense. I love the system that they run. Coach Washburn as well – he’s one of my favorite coaches that I’ve had in my career. They definitely played a big part in it.”

Washburn is coach Adam Gase’s new offensive line coach [url=http://www.losangelesdodgersteamshop.com/authentic-rich-hill-jersey]Rich Hill Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey[/url] , meaning he’ll oversee a makeover up front. On Wednesday, the Dolphins released three-time Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey and acquired center Daniel Kilgore in a trade with San Francisco.

Last month Kilgore signed an $11.78 million, three-year contract extension with the 49ers, but became expendable when they signed free agent center Weston Richburg this week.

”I don’t regret anything,” Kilgore said. ”A month ago when I signed the extension, I never dreamed about being in this position. I had the goal of starting and finishing my career there. But this is a new chapter for my family and me [url=http://www.newyorkyankeesteamshop.com/authentic-lou-gehrig-jersey]Lou Gehrig Jersey[/url] , and I think the change will be good.”

The Dolphins’ newest acquisitions also include free agent receivers Danny Amendola and Albert Wilson. They’ll combine to replace Jarvis Landry, who was traded to Cleveland.

They join a corps of wideouts that includes holdovers Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker.

”The way we’re going to put the stretch on some defenses is going to be crazy,” Wilson said. ”Danny is a straight-up dog. He’s very similar to me in the slot. He’s going to work and win. When you can count on a guy like that, man, it’s special.”

Sitton also is upbeat about his new teammates, including quarterback Ryan Tannehill [url=http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/royce-freeman-jersey]Authentic Royce Freeman Jersey[/url] , who missed last season because of a knee injury.

”With Tannehill coming back and being healthy, I think there are a lot of good parts to this team that are in place, and I think we can be really good,” Sitton said. ”I want to be somewhere I think we can win, and I think we can do that here.”
