Eric Smith Sues Browns, Says He Was Misidentified for Pouring Beer on Logan Ryan

The Cleveland Browns are facing a lawsuit from the man they incorrectly identified as pouring beer on Tennessee Titans cornerback Logan Ryan in Week 1 of the NFL season, according to ESPN's Jake Trotter.

Eric Smith alleges the Browns banned him from FirstEnergy Stadium despite the fact he wasn't at the stadium when the team opened the 2019 season with a 43-13 defeat to the Titans. His lawyer is asking the team to make a public retraction and pay financial damages.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Malcolm Butler returned a Baker Mayfield interception 38 yards for at touchdown.
