Browns Move Thornhill &Hurst to IR, Sign Cowboys Ex TE

SEPT 11 MOVES The Cleveland Browns have made an assortment of Wednesday morning roster moves, including Juan Thornhill and Maurice Hurst being shifted to IR.

The roster moves in total: LB Mohamoud Diabate (hip), LB Tony Fields II (ankle), DT Maurice Hurst II (ankle) and S Juan Thornhill (calf) to IR. ... WR David Bell, CB Mike Ford Jr., LB Khaleke Hudson (Saints) and DT Sam Kamara shifted up from having been practice-squadders. ... and DT Siaki Ika TE Geoff Swaim and LB Luiji Vilain signed to the practice squad.

SEPT 9 – TONEY SIGNS – Just a day after enduring an embarrassing offensive performance, the Cleveland Browns are looking at reinforcements.

No change is imminent under center. They’ve locked themselves into the Deshaun Watson experience and will pay the price. Thus, addressing the receiver spot was their first priority.

According to Ian Rapoport , the Browns signed former New York Giants receiver Kadarius Toney to their practice squad.

While he isn’t locked into a role on Sundays, Watson’s struggles likely played a role in this decision. Toney offers big-play upside as a gadget threat, which Cleveland may be more reliant on if Watson cannot drive the ball while retaining any semblance of accuracy. He may also take on a role at special teams, finding chunk gains in the form of kick returns.

New York will visit Cleveland on Sept. 22.

SEPT 9 – LAMAR AT LIX – On the first Sunday of the NFL season, the league made a special announcement to capitalize on the hype.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar will perform at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans to end the 2024 season.

The news comes as several teams saw their Super Bowl dreams dampened by pitiful Week 1 performances. The usual suspects struggled mightily as the Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, and Las Vegas Raiders all looked bad in their season openers.

Oh. And the Browns are 0-1 as well, debuting poorly against the Cowboys.
