Overview
- The team announced the addition on December 24, elevating Green from Buffalo’s practice squad to the 53-man roster under NFL rules.
- Kendrick Green was a 2021 third-round pick by Pittsburgh and started 15 games at center as a rookie before shifting to guard.
- He was traded to Houston in 2023, opened three games at guard, and then went on injured reserve with a season-ending meniscus tear in Week 4.
- Green signed a one-year deal with Buffalo in March 2025 and was later cut and re-signed to the practice squad during August roster moves.
- He could factor in quickly given Cleveland’s offensive line injuries, and the move is also being discussed as a possible look toward 2026 with Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller approaching free agency.
