The Cleveland Browns made a move on Tuesday to continue their shakeup at the bottom of their roster. General manager Andrew Berry and company have continued to make changes to bot their 53-man roster as well as their practice squad through the first few weeks of the season.
We do not expect that to change.
Tuesday’s move comes as a bit of a surprise. Sunday, the team elevated tight end Jordan Franks to their active roster for their game against the Chicago Bears. Franks played in nine snaps on offense and 11 on special teams in the Browns Week 3 victory.
The team released Franks from the practice squad on Tuesday.
In his place, the Browns added cornerback Herb Miller. Miller was on the Tampa Bay practice squad and active roster in 2020. He finished the season with five tackles, an interception and a pass breakup.
Miller was released from the Bucs practice squad a week ago.
An undrafted free agent, the Browns new cornerback is 6’2″ with good length. His athletic scores were not great coming out of Florida Atlantic but he does have some short-area quickness to go along with his size.
With the status of starter Greg Newsome II still unknown after a calf injury Sunday, Cleveland expects Greedy Williams to step into the starter role if needed. Miller joins Tim Harris, another 6’2″ corner, on the practice squad and is able to be called up, as Franks was, if the Browns need reinforcements for a game.
