The Browns were busy on Tuesday making changes and designations to the team’s practice squad. Two new players were signed to the squad, and the Browns also revealed the four members of the 14-man squad who are protected for Week 10.
The new additions are CB Stephen Denmark and OL Javon Patterson. Both worked out for the team over the bye weekend and passed COVID-19 protocols to join the team. Denmark brings a size component to the secondary, while Patterson effectively replaces active-roster backup Evan Brown, who was waived by the Browns.
To create one of the needed spots on the practice squad, WR Ryan Switzer was placed on the injured/practice squad list. He no longer counts against the Browns total roster tally. The Browns also terminated the contract of DB Prince Smith.
In addition to the additions, the team protected four players:
- QB Kyle Lauletta
- DE Cameron Malveaux
- PK Matt McCrane
- OT Alex Taylor
