Absent from practice Monday

Bond (concussion) is not practicing Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Bond continues to deal with the concussion he sustained in Cleveland's second preseason game, but coach Todd Monken said Monday the wideout is nearing a return to the field. Bond is expected to open the season as a sub-package wide receiver behind Jerry Jeudy and rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston while also handling returner duties. Bond doesn't carry much fantasy value outside of return yardage leagues.
