  "account": "Berea, Ohio (AP) — Edge rusher Jared Verse, acquired by the Cleveland Browns in a trade, is trying to find his form and spark after struggling with limited pressures and sacks. The Browns coach and teammates have high hopes for Verse's production on the field. Verse admitted he should have informed his teammates about his intentions to discuss his dislike for the Steelers before the June trade that sent Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. Despite his frustration, Verse remains committed to continuing his verbal approach to motivation. The Browns defense has been productive with 36.9% pressure on drop-backs, but has only 21 sacks entering Week 9. Quarterback Deshaun Watson remains sidelined due to concussion concerns, while Shedeur Sanders could make his season debut at quarterback against the New Orleans Saints.",
