Overview
- ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, citing Ross's agents, reported that the Cleveland Browns signed D'Angelo Ross to their practice squad.
- Ross has cycled on and off the Browns this month, having been cut on roster-trim day, re-signed to the practice squad, elevated for Week 1, returned to the practice squad, cut again on September 15, and now re-added.
- He played eight snaps for the Browns in Week 1, all on special teams, which is the primary role teams have used him in this season.
- Ross entered the NFL undrafted out of New Mexico in 2019 and has spent time with the Patriots, Dolphins and Texans, including a 2025 playoff play when he blocked an extra point, recovered it and returned it for a two-point conversion.
- The signing highlights how NFL teams use practice squads and short-term elevations to manage depth at cornerback and preserve special-teams options when injuries or matchups require quick roster changes.
