#Browns Haden was ordered off the field for unnecessary roughness, by Shurmur.
Update: Here’s the video of the play.
Shurmur later apologized for directing foul language at Haden while both were in the earshot of fans and onlookers. Haden was reportedly followed into the team’s facility by Browns president Mike Holmgren, but Holmgren did not address the incident with reporters after practice.
Haden, of course, is having a tumultuous offseason, as he’s currently facing a four-game suspension for using a substance banned by the NFL.
