Browns brass issues warning to rookie Callaway

Rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway has been warned by the Browns to run straight routes off the field.

Callaway, who came to Cleveland with a troubled background, was cited last week for marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license.

The fourth-round pick didn’t inform the team for several days, but in a meeting shown on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” on Tuesday night, coach Hue Jackson and general manager John Dorsey cautioned Callaway to change his behavior. After Callaway explained details of the traffic stop, Jackson told the 21-year-old that things have to change.

“Now listen, you’ve got talent but talent ain’t everything I’m looking for,” Jackson said. “I want you to become a man here, and responsible and accountable to John and me, this organization and your teammates — or else I wouldn’t keep you on this team. I’m just being very honest with you. If (stuff ) comes up, you have my number and you got John’s number. You call us ASAP. That’s what I expect from you from here on in.”

Callaway was suspended last season at Florida for his involvement in a credit card fraud scheme. He had other transgressions in college and he fell in the NFL draft after providing a diluted urine sample at the combine.

Steelers: Rookie thirdround pick Mason Rudolph and Josh Dobbs, Pittsburgh’s fourth-round selection in 2017, will see all of the playing time at quarterback when the Steelers visit the Packers tonight for their second preseason game.

On Tuesday, coach Mike Tomlin ruled out veterans Ben Roethlisberger and Landry Jones for the game. The announcement came before Roethlisberger left Tuesday’s practice with a possible concussion.

Saints: Defensive end Alex Okafor is dealing with another lower leg injury as he tries to come back from an Achilles tear that sidelined him much of last season.

The specific nature of his latest injury at practice Wednesday is not clear. He was able to walk off the field, but coach Sean Payton has not provided specific information about his condition.

Okafor’s setback comes as first-round draft choice Marcus Davenport returns to practice to resume his work at defensive end. Payton says Davenport will be “ramping up and accelerated” following his return to practice on Wednesday.

Raiders: Activated tackle Donald Penn off the physically unable to perform list. Penn took part in practice Tuesday, his first since injuring his right foot in Week 15 last season. The 35-year-old Penn has been voted to the Pro Bowl the past two seasons at left tackle. He worked at right tackle at practice instead of his usual spot, which was occupied by firstround pick Kolton Miller.

Broncos: Prosecutors in Atlanta are dismissing a rape case against defensive end Adam Gotsis over an alleged assault more than five years ago while he was at Georgia Tech. Fulton County District Attorney Paul L. Howard Jr. said in a statement “after a careful and thorough investigation” his office had decided not to proceed.
