Welcome to this week 12 Thursday edition of the From the Podium podcast. I'm Gabe Kalura. The Browns got their penultimate practice of the weekend today as they prepare to hop on a plane on Saturday to head to Vegas to take on the Raiders this coming Sunday.

And had a good first day of practice, had a good walk through this morning. So continue to build

off of that. What's the realistic expectation for what a week of, just that week of practice

reps can do for Shador in terms of what he did last Sunday to this Sunday.
