Who's looking good to make 53-man roster?

BROWNS linebacker Carson Schwesinger tackles Rams quarterback Dresser Winn as he releases a pass.

Here are five takeaways from the Rams' defeat:

Ferguson could be a force at tight end

Terrance Ferguson, a second-round draft pick from Oregon, made his debut after sitting out the first two preseason games because of a hamstring injury.

Ferguson was quiet the first quarter, but in the second he got a chance to show why the Rams selected him to be the heir apparent to veteran tight end Tyler Higbee.

Lining up in the left slot, the 6-foot-5, 247-pound Ferguson broke toward the sideline and made an over-the-shoulder catch for a 33-yard gain. Ferguson, not realizing he slid out of bounds, got to his feet and ran to the end zone.

"It was a big thing for me to have that first catch and be able to stretch the field a little bit, showcase some vertical speed," Ferguson said during the television broadcast.
