Cleveland has big questions at receiver after trading former 1st round pick Corey Coleman to the Bills on Sunday. Coleman was the 15th pick of the 2016 NFL draft out of Baylor. The Browns are also unsure of the availability of Josh Gordon who is receiving further treatment for mental health. Rookie receiver Antonio Callaway is now also in question after he was cited for marijuana possession during a traffic stop.
