The Browns have had some unfortunate luck with rookie injuries lately: Corey Coleman has been injury-prone since entering the league two years ago, and defensive end Myles Garrett suffered an injury that kept him out the first four games of last season.
Now, first-round pick Denzel Ward has a hip injury, which led to him being held out of today's rookie minicamp as a precaution.

Ward has been up-and-down so far at Browns camp. He got beat on a deep ball by Baker Mayfield, but quickly returned the favor with an excellent play.
The Browns are certainly hoping that Ward can return from his injury quickly and become an impact player for a team that certainly needs a few.
