The Cleveland Browns filled one of the two open spots on the 53-man roster by signing safety Jovante Moffatt from their own practice squad. The team announced the move on Tuesday.
Moffatt is an undrafted rookie from Middle Tennessee State. He signed with the Browns shortly after the draft and has been on Cleveland’s practice squad since the season began. The 5-11, 213-pounder effectively fills the spot previously held by Montrel Meander, who was waived on Monday.
Cleveland still has an empty spot on the active roster after placing WR/KR JoJo Natson on injured reserve. That move also became official on Tuesday. Natson is out for the rest of the season after tearing his ACL in Sunday’s win over Washington. They also have an opening on the practice squad with Moffatt now being on the main roster.
