Neither team made the playoffs last year, but the Bengals made a big push late in the season while the Browns fell apart during the same period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawgsbynature.com\/cleveland-browns-roster-players\/102505\/browns-roster-transitioning-from-oldest-to-youngest\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cleveland\u2019s in the midst of a bit of a soft reset to their roster<\/a>, while Cincinnati has paid to bring back the same roster that had a very good offense and terrible defense last year. Joe Burrow vs Joe Flacco isn\u2019t the quarterback matchup it might have been a few years ago, but the Browns hope the veteran will be a stabilizing force, while the Bengals will ride Burrow\u2019s acumen back to the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">After a mandatory break, Cleveland will return to practice on Labor Day, Monday, at 10:45 AM with HC Kevin Stefanski and players speaking after practice ends.
