With NFL roster cuts due in today, the Cleveland Browns have already made a somewhat surprising one: cornerback Brandon McDonald apparently will not be back with the team this season, as revealed on his Twitter account. That news comes as somewhat of a surprise, as the team had already released cornerbacks Gerard Lawson and Coye Francies, both of whom were also on the 53-man roster last year.
The other big move today was that the team released veteran defensive end C.J. Mosley, who had spent all of camp on the physically unable to perform list.
As of this posting, here are all of the players who were released either on Friday or Saturday:
- WR Jake Allen
- WR Syndric Steptoe
- TE Joel Gamble
- OT Joel Reinders
- OG Paul Fanaika
- OG Casey Bender
- DE C.J. Mosley
- CB Brandon McDonald
- CB Coye Francies
