Browns DL coach Joe Cullen confirmed Phil Taylor will play nose tackle in Cleveland's new 3-4 defense.
Desmond Bryant will be the right end, and Ahtyba Rubin will play left end. We'd seen some previous speculation about Rubin potentially playing nose tackle, but he's slimmed down and will play left end on base downs before kicking inside in sub-packages. Cleveland suddenly boasts a very talented defensive front.

Akron Beacon-Journal
The Browns expect Phil Taylor to be the nose tackle in their new 3-4 defense.
It may seem obvious, but fellow 330-plus-pound defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin had a case to play nose, as well. Rubin will likely be a mammoth "five technique" in the Red Bryant mold. Taylor, 25 in April, came off PUP in Week 9 this past season to close strong, grading out positively as a run defender per Pro Football Focus' ratings. Taylor was also a 3-4 nose tackle at Baylor.
Feb 3 - 10:14 PM

Cleveland Plain Dealer
Browns activated NT Phil Taylor (pectoral) from the PUP list.
Cleveland needs run-stuffing bodies with Ahtyba Rubin battling a recurring calf injury and likely to be sidelined through at least Cleveland's Week 10 bye. Taylor will probably try to be working himself into game shape over the next two weeks, but he can certainly help on obvious running downs. A 355-pound behemoth, Taylor was the 21st overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.

Browns NT Phil Taylor (torn pectoral, PUP) expects to make his 2012 debut Sunday.
Taylor has yet to be officially activated from the PUP list, but it's a formality at this point. Taylor does not expect to start against the Ravens, instead rotating in. His return will be a huge boost for a defense allowing 131.6 rushing yards per game and 4.4 yards per carry.

Trent Richardson (leg) is on track to begin a running program in two weeks.
Richardson is expected to be ready for training camp, but was held out of OTAs with a right shin injury and will visit Dr. James Andrews before he's cleared. Richardson insists he isn't dealing with a more serious setback. The Browns will continue to exercise caution with their workhorse back before the preseason.

Josh Gordon
Sidelined
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports Josh Gordon is already in Stage 3 of the NFL's drug program and is now one failed drug test away from a one-year suspension.
Gordon's February failed drug test for codeine was his "second strike," suggesting he either failed another drug test before that, or entered the NFL already in the league's drug program. The codeine test vaulted Gordon into Stage 3. As Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot writes, "One more failed test and Gordon's storybook NFL career could be in serious jeopardy." Players suspended for one year under the substance policy can apply for reinstatement after the year is up. For now, Gordon is only suspended for Weeks 1 and 2.

David Nelson
Sidelined
Browns WR David Nelson (ACL surgery) expects to be ready for training camp.
Nelson has been limited to side work in minicamp, but his rehab remains on schedule. With Davone Bess added since Nelson signed in early April, he'll have to be healthy in camp to be absolutely assured of a roster spot. It would be surprising if Nelson couldn't crack the 53-man roster.
