Joel Bitonio was missing from today’s countdown post
The last day of June is good for a lot of things. For Ohioans experiencing a cooler, relatively, day than we’ve had over the last couple of weeks, it was a great time to get things done outside productively or enjoy nature.
For the Cleveland Browns, nothing really going on but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot to still analyze about last season and the upcoming roster. We even got to get excited about RB Nick Chubb’s workout videos.
For those history buffs, we have you covered too.
The Browns social media team is spending this down time counting down to the start of the season. Sunday’s post had quite a few concerned, however, as Joel Bitonio was missing from the picture highlighting the offensive line:

Quickly, fans noticed:

From Facebook, we saw:
- “Bitonio’s gone!?!?”
- “Umm where’s Joel?”
- “Why don’t they have Bitonio on there? He’s our trench captain?”
- “Why isn’t Joel up there? He’s the best Olinemen we’ve had other then Joe since we came back”
Never fear, we reached out to someone with the organization with an understanding of the process who informed us that Bitonio received his own post five days prior so they were giving other guys attention:

Cleveland fans are passionate which can sometimes lead to fear and paranoia. At least this time, nothing to fear Browns fans.
