Coach Pat Shurmur chuckled with McCoy in the locker room about how far they’ve come in just six practices. When the lockout ended, McCoy didn’t even know his offensive coaches.
“He’s made huge strides in one week,” said Shurmur. “For him to be able to come out here and execute in a lot of situations has been really good.”
Among the injured:
• Top wideout Mohamed Massaquoi showed up the first day of camp with a walking cast on his lower left leg and it’s uncertain when he’ll be back.
• Tight end Ben Watson, the Browns’ leader in receptions last season, went down with a concussion and missed several days.
• Receiver Josh Cribbs missed most of the week with a knee injury suffered when a defender fell on it, but returned Friday.
Jets: Derrick Mason said he chose to sign with the New York Jets because the veteran receiver felt they offered the best chance to win a Super Bowl ring. The former Baltimore star signed a two-year deal, picking the Jets over the Ravens and Tennessee Titans — his two previous teams.
• Receiver Plaxico Burress made his debut for the Jets in 11-on-11 team drills after being limited to being mostly a spectator since he signed a week ago due to a sore ankle.
