Roster reset: Browns 53-man roster & practice squad after the bye week
After the bye week, the 53-man roster and practice squad for the Browns were reset.
Even though there haven’t been many changes since the beginning, the Browns roster is still worth looking at.
Coming off the earliest bye week an NFL team can have, the Cleveland Browns are 2-2.
Before the Browns defense and the rest of the team disintegrated in Week 4, they played well for three games.
Except for a performance in Week 3 that got fans excited about what might be, the offense stumbled without RB Nick Chubb.
Fortunately for Cleveland, the bye week arrived just in time for Deshaun Watson, the team’s starting quarterback, to hopefully miss just one game due to a shoulder injury.
The team has been greatly impacted by the serious injuries to OL Jack Conklin and Chubb.
Coming out of the bye week is a great time to examine the 53-man roster and practice squads for the Browns because there have been some roster changes.
