BEREA: Browns cornerback Tramon Williams has had to deal with emotions spurred by a demotion.
Williams has started every game in which he’s appeared during the past six seasons, but Jamar Taylor bumped him out of the starting lineup during training camp. Now Williams is the nickel corner who’ll cover the slot when the defense faces three-receiver sets.
He’ll play the role Sunday when the Browns visit the Philadelphia Eagles for the regular-season opener.
“I have been in this league for a long time, and I have been starting for a long time, so you know there is definitely an adjustment for me,” Williams, who signed with the Browns last year after spending his first nine seasons with the Green Bay Packers, said Thursday after practice.
