Browns HC taking a clean-slate approach to Deshaun Watson

The Cleveland Browns are now less than two weeks away from the start of the 2026 NFL season.  When they take the field on the afternoon of September 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, quarterback Deshaun Watson will be leading the offense in his first regular-season game in almost two years.  Of course, missing extended periods […]

Browns roster changes: 8 moves on Tuesday, including practice squad additions

The Cleveland Browns initial 53-man roster has already seen changes and will likely continue to see changes over the next week and a half until Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season. The difference between last year’s first roster and this year’s is pretty stark, with the practice squad still being filled up with players, […]

Thoughts on Browns roster cuts, practice squad, Luke Floriea and more

What a whirlwind for the Cleveland Browns in the past two days. After their final preseason game, the Browns coaching staff and GM Andrew Berry had nothing but decisions to make. But here is the thing: a lot of these decisions had nothing to do with the preseason games. Why? None of the Browns players […]

Cleveland Browns practice squad tracker: Up to 12 reported

While we are monitoring the Cleveland Browns’ roster cuts as they get set to name their initial 53-man roster, all eyes will then shift to Monday, when waiver claims are processed, and then teams can start signing players to their 16-man practice squad. There will be some interesting decisions at quarterback and wide receiver in […]

Browns: Rookie QB working to be more than just a physical threat

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Taylen Green is a hard man to miss on the practice field. That is what happens when you are 6-foot-6 and anywhere from three to seven inches taller than the other quarterbacks standing next to you. But Green also stands out as arguably the most athletic of Cleveland’s four quarterbacks, a […]

Browns roster: Claim DB, update on WR Luke Floriea

Did you get the Cleveland Browns initial 53-man roster memorized? Welp, there is a reason we call it the “initial” roster over and over again because things change quickly. On Sunday, the Browns waived and released a number of players, including WR Luke Floriea. Less than 24 hours later, waiver claims were due at 1 […]

Browns QB room: Decisions around the 4 QBs are and will be complicated

Heading into the NFL season, most teams will carry two quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, with a third on the practice squad who can be called up when needed. With a limited number of roster spots available, teams have to balance their needs across every position group. This is why it is such an interesting choice for the Cleveland Browns to […]

Browns: 3 takeaways from the initial 53-man roster

The Cleveland Browns joined their NFL brethren on Sunday in cutting their roster down to the initial 53-man squad ahead of the NFL-mandated deadline. As everyone knows by now, the roster as it stands today is not the roster the Browns will take to Jacksonville in two weeks when they open the regular season against […]

Browns initial 2026 53-man roster

The Cleveland Browns initial 53-man roster is set for the 2026 season, with a lot of moves to come over the next couple of days, including the team’s practice squad. The Browns officially waived, cut, and placed players on different lists Sunday afternoon, including an update on having just three quarterbacks on the roster, news […]

Cleveland Browns 53-man roster cuts tracker

The Cleveland Browns have until Sunday at 6:00 PM ET to make roster cuts and announce their initial 53-man roster. Some of those cuts or rumors about roster moves might leak early, though. The Browns may also announce them in waves — for example, some cuts may be announced Friday, some on Saturday, etc. All […]

5 reasons WR Luke Floriea missed the initial Browns 53-man roster

To the disappointment, frustration, surprise, and maybe anger of a lot of Cleveland Browns fans, WR Luke Floriea is reportedly not making the team’s initial 53-man roster. As has been repeated over and over again, the initial 53-man roster is not the final 53-man roster. There are lots of reasons teams make moves in different […]

Cleveland Browns news: Roster cutdown day has arrived

Today is the day that every NFL team must make its final roster cutdowns by 6 p.m. and set its initial 53-man roster. We are contractually obligated* to remind everyone that the initial 53-man roster is not the final 53-man roster, as teams will continue to sign players through waivers, make adjustments on the practice […]

Browns: Is this rookie playing himself into a starter’s role?

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry entered the 2026 offseason facing an odd situation. The offensive line, long one of the team’s strengths, was aging, injured, and highly paid, leaving Berry to decide whether to stick with the status quo for another year or attempt to rebuild the entire starting unit in a single offseason.  […]

Browns can’t lose sight of the true goal at the quarterback position

NFL teams, and by extension their fans, certainly love the concept of a developmental quarterback. It is a phenomenon seen across the league every season. A quarterback gets selected in the fifth, sixth, or seventh round of the draft, or perhaps is even an undrafted free agent, but has just enough athletic ability that everyone […]

Browns 53-man roster prediction: Last 4 in, last 4 out

The Cleveland Browns finished their 2026 exhibition schedule on a high note by having their second-and third-string guys demolish the New England Patriots. The contest gave both coaching staffs an idea of who to cut and who to keep. None of the projected starters played, with the exception of the special teams guys. RELATED: BROWNS […]

Browns QB room: Patriots game enough to secure roster spots?

The Cleveland Browns’ final preseason game against the New England Patriots allowed both Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green to make their case for a spot on the initial 53-man roster. Gabriel brings experience to the table, having played at multiple college programs and appeared in several games during the 2025 season. Green is coming in as […]

Browns 53-man roster: Expect creative moves with a few vets, QB room

It is quite impressive how quickly things need to turn from the Cleveland Browns final preseason game to the initial 53-man roster decisions. As we shared in our roster tracker piece, the Browns planned schedule tells us that most of their moves will be made a full 24 hours plus before the NFL’s mandate. As […]
