INDIANAPOLIS — Browns training camp plans this season won’t include golf, fine dining or falconry — whatever that is. (It probably has to do with falcons.) Head coach Kevin Stefanski said they won’t start their preparation for the 2025 season at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Along with two full practice fields and a building that can house a team’s camp needs, the resort offers activities like bowling, bike rentals and bracelet and jewelry making workshops. Nestled in the mountains of West Virginia, it served as the team’s temporary headquarters at the start of training camp the last two seasons, allowing Stefanski to make his players have some forced family fun in their downtime instead of dealing with distractions at home. Other teams have hosted training camps there or spent weeks there between games to reduce travel. “We are not going back to Greenbrier,” Stefanski said during his media availability at the NFL Scouting Combine. Stefanski also said the team will once again conduct joint practices, but wasn’t ready to get into specifics of who or where. “I have some that I’ll be able to announce in the next couple weeks, but just not yet,” Stefanski said. The Browns will play two of their three preseason games on the road this August. Morgan Wallen is performing at Huntington Bank Field on August 15 and 16, so the Browns are likely to play their lone home preseason game during Week 3. The Browns hosted the Vikings for joint practices last season. They also hosted the Giants in 2021 and the Eagles in 2022. They traveled to Philadelphia in 2023 and were scheduled to travel to Green Bay in 2020 before COVID-19 restrictions limited travel and canceled the preseason. “I think it’s invaluable,” Stefanski said of joint practices during the 2024 Combine. “And what I always look for is I look for a head coach that I know and trust. I look for different scheme that we can go against competitively and then organizationally, you want there to be some tie-in where you feel like you can work together.” As for The Greenbrier, the Browns have opened their previous two camps there, spending about two weeks deep in West Virginia before returning to their team headquarters in Berea. Stefanski saw it as a valuable team-building experience. Players credited their trip there as a reason they were such a close-knit team in 2023 when they went 11-6 and made the playoffs, so it wasn’t a surprise when they returned in 2024. “Once we were leaving there (in 2023), just based on the experience … what you don’t want to do is say we had a good year or bad year all tied back to that,” Stefanski said at last year’s combine. “That’s not the case. But coming out of there, I thought we got our work done. Whatever we did in terms the players being around each other I felt was a positive. It’s a beautiful environment, they treated us great down there. So I felt pretty strongly shortly thereafter we left there that it’d be a good thing to return.” In case anyone thought the trip might have been the secret sauce to their success, the Browns went 3-14 last season. Now, instead of spending time playing pool at Slammin' Sammy’s, the sports bar located inside the resort, they’ll stay home and try to right the ship the old-fashioned way. There will probably still be some golfing, though.
