The roster saw a lot of churning the day after the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game
It did not take the Cleveland Browns long to make roster moves coming off of their 21-16 win over the New York Jets in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. We knew two players left that game injured, and they have both now been waived. We also now see the return of tight end Miller Forristall as a result.
Here are all of the various roster moves the Browns made on Friday.
Thomas Graham Jr. leaves Browns-Jets game due to ankle injury.
Cleveland Browns cornerback Thomas Graham Jr. suffered an ankle injury during the Thursday night Pro Football Hall of Fame Game against the New York Jets. He will not return. He becomes the second player to leave the game.
The third-year cornerback had a rough game, giving up a 57-yard pass to Malik Taylor and Zach Wilson in the first quarter. The long completion would set up a field goal to expand the Jets’ lead to six points. Thomas Graham Jr. is one of the many players fighting to make the team. Graham Jr. played in seven games for the Browns during the 2022 season, serving primarily as a special teams player. Hopefully, the injury isn’t too debilitating for the young defender.

The Browns have brought back three more of their own
The Cleveland Browns have added high-quality starters like defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson and safety Juan Thornhill this offseason. However, they have also added competitive depth pieces, including some of their own. And now, they have announced the re-signing of three more depth pieces as NFL free agency continues along closer to the 2023 NFL draft.
Bringing back three players who have all seen significant time on the field for the team, the Browns are looking to breed competition in training camp. None of the three retained will be guaranteed a roster spot but will compete for a spot on the final 53-man roster. Who were those three players?
The Browns have announced their seven inactives
As the Cleveland Browns seek to end their disappointing 2022 campaign on a high note, with a chance to spoil the playoff dreams of the Pittsburgh Steelers, they have announced their seven inactives for this afternoon’s game. The elephant in the room here is defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney, as he was sent home and ruled out after lashing out at the Browns during an interview this week. Jack Conklin has also been listed as inactive after being ruled out with an ankle injury.
Here is the full list of inactives as the Browns look to end their season on a 5-2 run.

The Browns have announced their seven inactives as Jaelon Darden is set to make his debut
As the Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders get set to go to battle on New Year’s Day, the away team has a slight advantage on paper. As the two sides get set for their matchup on the field, however, both teams have announced their inactives for the day. The Browns have announced their seven inactives, but not listed is wide receiver, Jaelon Darden. He is set to make his debut in the brown and orange after being claimed off of waivers a month ago.
Here are the seven inactives who will not dress for the Browns as they look to capture their seventh win on the season.

The Browns have announced their six inactives today
As the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints get set for their Christmas Eve showdown, the home team has announced their six inactives in this one. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is not a surprise inactive as he was ruled out with a concussion this week, but both wide receivers Jaelon Darden and Demetric Felton being shelved is a bit odd.
For the Saints, they will be without a handful of starters as wide receivers Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry, cornerback Marshon Lattimore, linebacker Pete Werner, and defensive end Payton Turner will all miss this matchup against the Browns.
Who else was listed as inactive for the Browns? We take a look here.

The Browns have listed wide receivers David Bell and Jaelon Darden among their inactives today against the Ravens.
Dealing with both a toe and thumb injury this week, there was a good chance wide receiver David Bell would not be able to suit up against the Baltimore Ravens. That has now become a reality as he has been listed as inactive, along with fellow wide receiver Jaelon Darden. All-in-all, the Browns again list seven players who will not dress against the Ravens as they look to play spoilers now that their playoff hopes are all but gone.
Here is the full list of those who will not suit up today as the Browns look to get back in the win column against the Ravens.

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.

The Browns have signed Thomas Graham Jr. and Herb Miller to their active roster, elevating two more for their game vs. the Bengals.
The Cleveland Browns opened up two roster spots this week when they placed both linebacker Jacob Phillips and offensive lineman Joe Haeg on Injured Reserve. With just four hours until game time, the Browns have filled those spots by signing cornerbacks Thomas Graham Jr. and Herb Miller to the active roster.
Additionally, the Browns have elevated linebacker Dakota Allen and tight end, Miller Forristall, to their gameday roster against the Cincinnati Bengals tonight. With the injury to David Njoku, and with Pharaoh Brown just emerging from the concussion protocol, the elevation of Forristall makes a great deal of sense. With Phillips likely out for the season, adding another gameday linebacker to the mix in Allen also adds up.
The Browns will look to end their four-game skid with a home win over the Bengals tonight.
We have signed Thomas Graham Jr. and Herb Miller from our practice squad and elevated 2 others for tonight's game

Browns confirm the addition of Graham off the Bears practice squad as well as signing a potential returner to their own practice squad:
The Cleveland Browns may be one of the most active teams in the NFL. Rarely a week goes by without GM Andrew Berry making a move.
Monday, Berry waived CB Herb Miller a day after his possession-saving recovery of Demetric Felton’s fumble. In that report, we noted that the team had reportedly already decided who they would be adding to the roster but had not become official.
Tuesday that move became official with Cleveland signing CB Thomas Graham Jr. off of the Chicago Bears practice squad. Graham was a sixth-round pick in 2021 and played in four games for the Bears last year.
The Browns also signed WR Chester Rogers to their practice squad. Rogers has compiled 1,522 yards receiving in four seasons between Indianapolis and Tennesee. He has also returned punts throughout his career.
Once up to speed, it is possible that Rogers will take over for Felton in the return game while Graham will have important responsibilities in special teams as well.
