Travis Benjamin returns to practice

BEREA, Ohio -- Help is on the way for the Browns receiving corps.

Receiver Travis Benjamin and tight end Jordan Cameron returned to practice Friday after sitting out the Green Bay game and the week of practice leading up to it.

"I was kind of nicked up,'' said Benjamin. "It wasn't really as sore. I had a few minor problems, but it’s OK now.''

He said he didn't feel he missed much in his week out. "Actually I was here the whole time,'' he said. "I watched film, watched practice, made sure I stayed on top of everything so I could be still in the game.''

Benjamin said he could've played in Green Bay if he had to. "Coach Shurmur knew my intentions,'' said Benjamin. "He just didn't want me to play.''
Cameron, who was having a strong camp before the injury, was glad to be back out there.

"Sitting behind the last week, you kind of lose something, obviously,'' he said. "You’re not getting the reps I’ve been getting. But it kind of gives you a chance to get the mental aspect going. You kind of sit back and watch things, sit back and watch each play, watch the technique of the guys going ahead of you. I've kind of been doing that. But definitely losing the reps doesn’t help.''

He said he was bugged when he had to come out off the game in the second quarter in Detroit.

"I wanted to be out there and keep playing and kind of showcase what I’ve been doing during camp. But it happens, it’s part of the game, you bounce back and I’ll be good.''
