BEREA (AP) — The Browns have punted plans to move their training camp to Columbus.
After considering a move to Ohio’s state capital in 2018, the team announced Wednesday that it will continue to hold summer camp in Berea “for the immediate future.”
Earlier this month, the team said it was discussing the possibility of partnering with Franklin County and contributing $5 million toward a new recreation center and moving camp, a decision that didn’t sit well with many Browns fans in Northeast Ohio.
However, owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam have opted to keep the summer workouts at the team’s headquarters, which has hosted camp since 1992.
The Browns have previously considered a move to Columbus but backed off as well.

Quarterback Robert Griffin III (right, with coach Hue Jackson) remains in concussion protocol and could miss Sunday’s season finale.
Griffin was not on the practice field Wednesday as the Browns (1-14) prepared to face the Steelers.
He was injured in the fourth quarter in last week’s win over San Diego and replaced by rookie Cody Kessler, who finished off Cleveland’s first victory in 2016.
Griffin was sacked seven times.
