What happened: Monken said Fano earned the move by standing his ground against Jared Verse during Saturday's fight. Fano had already taken first-unit reps during Cleveland's June minicamp.

Why it matters: The promotion reshapes Cleveland's left-tackle competition during the preseason. It also gives the rookie regular work against Jared Verse, Cleveland's new defensive anchor.

By the numbers: Fano was the No.

What to watch: Watch whether Fano retains the first-team role through the Browns' remaining preseason work.
