    Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi returned to practice Tuesday and reiterated that he did not suffer a concussion in Friday's exhibition opener in Detroit against the Lions. The statement continues to conflict with what coach Pat Shurmur has been reporting to the media. "I feel great, always felt great, never developed a symptom or anything," Massaquoi said. "Everything that was done was strictly precautionary because of the type of the hit, the way that the hit looked. So I'm excited just to play right now, and now we're gonna keep moving forward." Shurmur, who addressed reporters Tuesday before Massaquoi did, said the receiver might play on Thursday in Green Bay, but a final decision has not been made. Massaquoi, who has suffered at least two documented concussions in the past two seasons, was injured on the first offensive play in Detroit when he absorbed a high hit from Lions safety Erik Coleman immediately after catching a Brandon Weeden pbutt. The coach said after the game Massaquoi had suffered a concussion, while the player -- using his Twitter account -- wrote he had left for precautionary reasons.
