Browns lose DT Tyeler Davison as Chargers poach him from practice squad

The Cleveland Browns have lost a defensive tackle off of the practice squad as the Chargers sign Tyeler Davison

The Cleveland Browns added a defensive tackle to their active roster today in Ben Stille but lost one from their practice squad. After signing to the Cleveland practice squad after a tumultuous showing from the defensive tackles against the Atlanta Falcons, Tyeler Davison is now off to California as he has signed a contract with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Davison was never called up to the active roster on gameday from the practice squad, and that speaks volumes given the structure of the current defensive tackles in Cleveland. As a snowy day is ahead in Buffalo, the Browns are down a defensive tackle option to call up for gameday on Sunday.

Browns vs. Bills: Another legendary snow game in Buffalo on the way?

The Browns and Bills have played two memorable games in the snow in recent memory, and they could be set for a third this Sunday.

There has been no shortage of memorable games between the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills. This version up next week of Browns vs. Bills may be the third snow game in 15 years between the two sides as Buffalo is set to get a great deal of snow this upcoming weekend.

Back in 2007, the Browns beat the Bills in a snowstorm off the foot of Phil Dawson. They won the game 8-0 on the day, neither team scored after Dawson somehow belted a 49-yarder through the snow. Just two years later, the two teams played another game in a snow storm as the Browns came out on top by a score of 6-3 as Billy Cundiff hit home an 18-yarder in the final minute of the game.

We could be set for round three this Sunday. Can the Browns stay undefeated in the snow of Buffalo?

Browns sign DT Ben Stille off Dolphins practice squad

The Browns have signed defensive tackle Ben Stille off of the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad

As the Cleveland Browns continue to field the worst run defense in the NFL, they have made a change to their defensive tackle room. After a meltdown against the Miami Dolphins, the Browns have signed defensive tackle Ben Stille off of the Dolphins’ practice squad. This came after waiving defensive tackle Roderick Perry II yesterday.

Measuring in at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, Still ran a blazing 4.98 40-yard dash at that size. He tested with elite explosives as well, hitting 32 inches on his vertical jump and 9-foot-8 in his broad jump. Not a stiff athlete either, Stille ran a short shuttle in the 98th percentile historically and the 84th percentile in his three-cone. Stille went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Browns did not put in waiver claim for DT Jerry Tillery

The Browns were not among the eight teams that put in waiver claims on defensive tackle Jerry Tillery.

The Los Angeles Chargers waived former first round pick Jerry Tillery last week, and given general manager Andrew Berry’s track record there was reason to believe the Cleveland Browns would be heavily interested in his services. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, however, the Browns were not among the eight teams that put in a request for Tillery.

It would not have mattered anyway as the Las Vegas Raiders, second in priority, were granted the services of Tillery. The other teams who put in waiver claims on Tillery were the Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets, New York Giants, and Kansas City Chiefs.

Browns waive DT Roderick Perry as Chase Winovich activation is likely

After the release of Roderick Perry II, is the return of Chase Winovich near for the Browns?

After signing him to the active roster just before the game against the Miami Dolphins, the Cleveland Browns have now waived defensive tackle Roderick Perry II just days later. They had an open roster spot open after designating both running back Jerome Ford and defensive end Chase Winovich for return from Injured Reserve (and only Ford was activated).

The waiving of Perry may now indicate that Winovich is set to be activated from the IR this week. Spending every day with the Browns through camp and the season on the practice squad, Perry will likely land back on the reserves unit should he clear waivers.

Baker Mayfield to start for Panthers, will he get Browns a fourth round pick?

The Browns are back in the running for a fourth round pick as the Panthers turn back to Baker Mayfield this Sunday.

As quarterback P.J. Walker suffers through a high ankle sprain, the Carolina Panthers will turn back to Baker Mayfield against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday. This, of course, continues to be news for the Cleveland Browns as the fifth rounder they acquired for him could turn into a fourth rounder if he plays 70 percent of the offensive snaps for the Panthers.

As it currently stands, with Walker getting the recent starts in Carolina, Mayfield has only played 316 of 583 offensive snaps for the Panthers. This leaves him at just over 54 percent of snaps played.

Averaging 58 offensive plays per game to this point, the Panthers are on pace for another 406 snaps over their last seven games. Mayfield will need to play 376 of those remaining snaps for the Browns to get a fourth rounder in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Joe Thomas: ‘That would be a terrible decision’ to hire him as head coach

Joe Thomas continues to sound off on the Jeff Saturday hire, stating the Browns would be foolish to hire him in the same fashion.

Former Cleveland Browns and future first-ballot Hall of Fame left tackle Joe Thomas continues to sound off on the hiring of Jeff Saturday. He struck chords this weekend by stating it was the most egregious thing he’s ever seen in the NFL, including closing his career with a record of 1-31.

Thomas continues to poke fun at the hire today. Browns guard and former teammate of Thomas, Joel Bitonio, spoke to the media today, stating the hire the Indianapolis Colts made would be equivalent to the Browns hiring their former left tackle.

Responding via Twitter, Thomas reiterated, “I admit, that would be a terrible decision.”

Deshaun Watson returns to practice but ‘won’t take away from Jacoby’s preparation’

The Browns have their starting quarterback in Deshaun Watson back at practice, but their focus is still on getting Jacoby Brissett ready.

After falling to 3-6 on the season, and getting blown out on the road by the Miami Dolphins, the Cleveland Browns return to Berea. They are now tasked with the task of winning these next two games to keep them afloat before Deshaun Watson returns under center. While Watson can return to practice today, the Browns are still focused on getting Jacoby Brissett ready to play against the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers these next two weeks.

Speaking to the media today, head coach Kevin Stefanski spoke on the return of Watson, stating, “Whatever we do with Deshaun won’t take away from Jacoby’s preparation.” Despite a season gone sideways, the Browns are not ready to stop competing. Can they rebound against the Bills this Sunday?

Browns announce 7 inactives vs. Dolphins including Perrion Winfrey

The Browns have released their inactives list, and it includes a couple of injured starters and fourth round rookie Perrion Winfrey

The Cleveland Browns have announced their seven inactive players as they look to make it two in a row against the Miami Dolphins. It was already hinted that rookie defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey would miss his second game in a row as a healthy scratch, and that has indeed come to fruition.

Joining Winfrey on the inactive list are starters tight end David Njoku and linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, who were ruled out earlier this week. Quarterback Kellen Mond, hybrid player Demetric Felton, cornerback Thomas Graham Jr., and offensive guard Michael Dunn round out the list of inactives as well.

Report: DT Perrion Winfrey will be inactive once again vs. Dolphins

As the Browns get set to take on the Miami Dolphins, they will do so without defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey.

For the second time in as many games, the Cleveland Browns will not dress fourth round rookie defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey according to Brad Stainbrook of The OBR. While he suffered through an illness this week, Winfrey was not listed on the final injury report, making him a healthy scratch against the Miami Dolphins.

This writing may have been on the wall a bit after the Browns signed defensive tackle Roderick Perry II to the active roster off of their practice squad in a flurry of moves made yesterday. Looking to roll out a three-man rotation in Jordan Elliott, Taven Bryan, and Tommy Togiai again (with some Alex Wright and Jadeveon Clowney lined up inside as well), the defensive unit looks to stack a third positive game in a row.
