Cleveland Browns Announce Several Roster Moves Including Cam Mitchell To IR
The Browns made a slew of roster moves on Tuesday including a key defensive back headed to injured reserve.
The Browns have released some updates on their roster ahead of the week of preparation for the Baltimore Ravens in a key AFC North showdown.
The biggest news is that defensive back Cameron Mitchell is headed to injured reserve in a surprise announcement as he has a hamstring issue. The Northwestern product played well in his start against the Cardinals on Sunday. He graded out among the best of the whole defense and recorded three stop tackles in the slot role as he filled in for Greg Newsome who missed the game with his own injury. The hope is that Newsome will be ready for the game in Baltimore.
As we know from earlier today, the team promoted offensive tackle Geron Christian to the active roster parallel to the official announcement that Jedrick Wills was headed to the injured reserve while he nurses the banged-up knee.
Alongside that announcement, the Browns also signed wide receiver James Proche II who was active last week and averaged 11.5 yards per punt return. It remains to be seen if he will have reps at the receiver position but the return aspect he provided against the Cardinals was valuable enough to warrant a full-time active roster status. He will continue to wear No. 11.
The team also announced that they signed wide receiver Trinity Benson, safety Vincent Gray, and tackle Justin Murray to the practice squad and released tight end Devin Asiasi from the practice squad.
According to the team website, the following details about the players were released.
“Gray (6-2, 192) is officially in his first NFL season out of Michigan. Originally signed by New Orleans as an undrafted free agent in 2022, Gray also spent the 2023 offseason with the Los Angeles Rams.
Murray (6-5, 315) officially enters his fifth season in the NFL out of Cincinnati. Originally signed by Denver as an undrafted free agent in 2016, Murray has appeared in 41 games with 20 starts between the Raiders (2018), Cardinals (2019-21), Bills (2022) and Titans (2023). He has appeared in four games with the Titans this season.”
