Overview
- Cleveland signed the 24-year-old off Detroit’s practice squad on Dec. 31 after offering a guaranteed starting role, according to Lions coach Dan Campbell.
- Eguakun started the past two games for Detroit in place of injured Graham Glasgow, impressing in his debut at Pittsburgh before a rough outing at Minnesota with two bad snaps that became fumbles.
- Campbell said Detroit wanted to add Eguakun to its 53-man roster but would not promise him a starting job, and the player chose the Browns’ opportunity.
- Eguakun had exhausted his three standard gameday elevations, and NFL rules permitted Cleveland to sign him directly to its active roster.
- With Eguakun gone, Detroit’s Week 18 options at center are Glasgow if healthy, with Trystan Colon or Michael Niese as alternatives for the finale against the Bears.
