As training camp is underway (for all but the Browns’ draft picks, anyway) news and views abound, so check out some of the links at right. From where I sit, here are the latest up and down ticks in the stock of individual players. Sure, camp has just begun, but it will fly by, as opening day is a mere 42 days away.

RISING:

Tim Couch — looking fit, no signs yet of getting knocked out of top job

Andre Davis — catching everything in sight, including raves all around

Chad Mustard — fans relish the size and hands of this upstart TE

Courtney Brown — prognosis from first practices: guardedly optimistic

Lewis Sanders — stepping up at cornerback

William Green — all signs point to a breakout year

Leigh Bodden — free-agent CB from Duquesne opening some eyes

FALLING:

Ryan Pontbriand — Browns making other plans than holdout long-snapper

Jeff Faine — starting at center may be rough if he’s not in camp pronto

Qasim Mitchell — massive guard’s hype may have merit, but probably premature

Gerard Warren — hoping tweaked knee is only a minor setback

Dennis Northcutt — very bad vibes from his contract attitude
