The Cleveland Browns faced a setback in their defensive lineup as defensive end Za'Darius Smith was carted off the field during practice after appearing to injure his left knee. This incident overshadowed the return of Myles Garrett, who had been recovering from a hamstring injury. Smith, who had a strong season last year with 5.5 sacks, is now among several key defensive players dealing with injuries as the team prepares for the upcoming season.

• Za'Darius Smith's injury raises concerns for the Browns' defensive depth.
• Myles Garrett's return is a positive sign for the defense, but the injury list is growing.
