RB Dontrell Hilliard back to the active roster, LB/S Montreal Meander back to the practice squad. Perhaps we'll see Hilliard returning kickoffs?

Protecting PS players has a post gameday loophole  

The Cowboys signed OT Greg Senat from the Browns practice squad.  (straight to dallas's 53 man)
 
Down to 4 active WR's with 3 on PS... i wondered why Hodge never played Sunday? Hammy went in warm-ups
Browns placed KhaDarel Hodge on injured reserve with a hamstring injury...likely 3 games

Unless it's changed you've always been able to sign away another team's PS player(s).

Catch has always been that the player must go on the 53-man roster of the team signing the player away.

Oh!!  lots has changed on the the PS rules.. google it up..10 to 16 & 4 squad members protected.(fail is directly after a game apparently?). Senat has been labeled as protected since we signed him.. bottom of my list of to do's, so I've got Icecubes best sources looking into this roster robbery;)..

The kid's an athlete...

I wonder if he'll get work at Safety... has the size and speed for it... good agility to boot.

Ward & Mitchell can no doubt play.. That covers D'quick Johnson in the slot & maybe JuJU?.. The NFL mismatch is Claypool..he's six four, runs like a 238 lb deer, than verts over 40 inches...

We have MJ Steward/KJ? and Harrison? whom neither may not play over six foot & this Robert Jackson bring-up, maybe because Harry won't play.. Be scared..Be very scared 🦁.. 🤓...

Browns elevate S Elijah Benton to active roster

Cleveland adds depth at safety for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh

https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/browns-elevate-s-elijah-benton-to-active-roster

Benton is a 6-1, 205-pound rookie out of Liberty. Originally signed by the Browns as an undrafted free agent, Benton has spent the firstfive weeks of the season on the team's practice squad. The Forest, Va., native will wear No. 48. 

New this season, a club can carry up to 55 players on its roster during a given week by elevating one or two players from its practice squad. The rule allows teams a larger pool from which to select their 47 or 48 game-day active players. Any player elevated from the practice squad for this purpose will immediately revert to his team's practice squad the day following the game.

We made a move a week ago...

Quote

The Cleveland Browns have signed T Alex Taylor to the club's practice squad. The team also released DE Jalen Jelks from their practice squad. 

Taylor (6-8, 301) is a rookie out of South Carolina State, who originally signed to the Browns as an undrafted free agent this offseason and was waived from injured reserved during Week 2. He started all 11 games as a senior at South Carolina State in 2019 and earned All-MEAC honors twice. Taylor is a native of Moncks Corner, S.C. 

The corresponding move now fills the Browns 16 practice squad openings.

Taylor is the raw, athletic, small-school OT that caught attention at the Combine.

I guess because Hodge is hurt. 

I Maybe they should put Njoku on the outside as a WR....and see what he can do.

Marvin Hall claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns

The Lions opted to go in a different direction at wide receiver, dumping Hall with five games left on his expiring contract. He was the fastest wideout on the Lions but offered little more than a vertical threat as a route runner. His body-catching style, ineffective blocking and lack of special teams usage hurt his cause to stay in Detroit.

Cleveland has had some injury issues at wide receiver and can use Hall’s field-stretching ability. They relied on practice squad call-up Ja’Marcus Bradley to play as the No. 4 receiver in their win over the Titans on Sunday

Marvin Hall Highlights! Welcome To CLEVELAND!!

The the above refugee from the Lions may see the field Monday nite. I wonder if he can handle punts?

Alexander Hollins: What the Browns are getting in their new WR

https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2020/12/30/alexander-hollins-browns-wr-scouting-report/

 

Alexander Hollins is not a familiar name for most NFL fans, but the newest Cleveland Browns wide receiver is ready to make a bigger impression. The Browns added Hollins this week, and the second-year wideout will join the active roster once he clears COVID-19 protocols.

What are the Browns getting in Hollins?

Now in his second season out of Eastern Illinois, Hollins spent his rookie campaign with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent. Most of the 2019 season was on the Vikings’ practice squad, but he did see action in five games down the stretch, playing under offensive coordinator (and now Browns head coach) Kevin Stefanski.

Hollins caught two passes on four targets for 46 yards in 71 total offensive snaps. He also had limited special teams duty.

He’s an impressive, albeit slightly-built athlete. At 6-0 and a listed 166 pounds that appears generous, Hollins is both quick and fast. He clocked a 4.48 40-yard dash at his pro day in 2019 and also posted a 6.89 3-cone drill. That’s an impressive combo that helped him dominate the FCS level with the Panthers.

In college, he was a big-play wideout with a knack for making tough catches in the end zone. He extends well to present a big catch radius, and Hollins has strong hands. Despite being skinny and with small hands, Hollins reliably caught the ball and held on through contact well.

The lack of bulk showed more in blocking and in working the middle of the field. He’s not scared, but he’s also not scaring anyone. It was difficult to see how his impressive agility metrics translated to route-running, too. He only showed one gear on deeper routes.

He’s a nice pickup for the Browns this late in the season for his familiarity with Stefanski’s offense and his reliable hands. In all likelihood, Hollins is auditioning for a shot at making the team in 2021.

Added a DT to the PS...

Sheldon Day... former Golden Domer taken in the 4th round by JAX. Spent time in SF so crossed paths with Woods there.

BEREA, Ohio (WJW)– The Cleveland Browns activated safety Ronnie Harrison Jr. on Wednesday.

Harrison was out with a shoulder injury he suffered during the Browns win over the Jaguars on Nov. 29.

The team also moved center Javon Patterson to the practice squad/COVID-19 list and activated wide receiver Ryan Switzer

Finally some good news...

 

Plus Switzer's a guy I thought could be that Edelman - Beasley type of quick-twitch, possession WR for some team. Looked to be on that path his rookie year with DAL and 2nd year with PTG, but did not stick with either team. Then again it took both Edelman and Beasley a while before they found their niche in NE and BUF.

 

Aside: I wonder how many times "niche" has appeared in a BB post...
