Donald Stephenson signed a one-year deal with the Browns as a free agent in March with the idea he would compete for a starting job at left tackle or at least add depth on the offensive line. However, he is not with the team for their mandatory minicamp.

“That will all come to a head here pretty soon,” Jackson said. “Obviously, the guy is not here for minicamp. There are fines involved. There are all of those things that we will deal with. At this time, I only want to talk about the guys that are here and working and doing the things that they need to be doing right now.”

Stephenson also skipped OTAs, but those are technically voluntary

Stephenson is a seven-year veteran. He played for the Chiefs from 2012-2015. He played the last two seasons with the Broncos.

• Linebacker Jamie Collins) knee, linebacker Mychal Kendricks (ankle) and Callaway (groin) did not practice June 12 and likely won’t the final two days of minicamp.

“Those guys are not totally where I want them to be at, or where our medical staff, I should say, wants them to be,” Jackson said. “There’s no rush. I think we’re definitely going to have them back for training camp.”

Training camp will open in late July at the Browns training facility in Berea.
