BEREA, Ohio -- Browns wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and rookie running back Duke Johnson returned to practice after being sidelined by hamstring injuries.
Bowe and Johnson have both missed Cleveland's first two exhibition games and are hoping to be on the field next Saturday when the Browns play at Tampa Bay. A nine-year veteran, Bowe said the time off has helped heal his body.
Johnson has had hamstring issues since high school, but Miami's career rushing leader doesn't think the missed time has been any setback.
Also, Browns coach Mike Pettine said wide receiver Terrelle Pryor is getting close to returning, but that the "window narrows every day" for the former Oakland quarterback to make the roster (see full story).
Chiefs: Eric Berry revels in smells of Arrowhead
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Eric Berry has made the drive into Arrowhead Stadium on game day dozens of times over the years. On Friday night, he rolled down the windows and went a little bit slower.
He wanted to smell the barbecue wafting off the grills in the parking lot. He wanted to see the kids throwing footballs between the cars. And more than anything, he wanted to hear all those Kansas City Chiefs fans shout words of encouragement when they saw him roll past.
"All those emotions and things that come with the game, you get it riding through the parking lot," he said. "You have to be a Kansas City Chief to understand."

Few people expected Berry to make that drive Friday night, at least not in December, when the Pro Bowl safety was diagnosed with lymphoma and stepped away from the game (see full story).
Jets: Plenty of work still to be done
NEW YORK -- Two preseason games in, and the New York Jets are truly a work-in-progress.
On offense. Defense, too. And, special teams.
The starters weren't sharp early and the Jets were called for an eye-popping 17 total penalties -- including 10 in the first half -- in a 30-22 preseason victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night.
"You aren't going to win ballgames having 17 penalties," coach Todd Bowles said after the game. "The effort was great, penalties were terrible. That was way more than I imagined. We got better in some areas. We got worse there.
"We've got to clean that up (see full story)."
