Browns Sign Thayer Munford to Bolster Tackle Depth After Dawand Jones' Season-Ending Injury

The former Raiders draft pick is expected to serve as Cleveland’s swing tackle after a rash of injuries at the position.

Overview

  • Cleveland added Thayer Munford from the Patriots’ practice squad to its 53-man roster following Dawand Jones being placed on Injured Reserve with a season-ending knee injury.
  • Munford has 22 NFL starts at both left and right tackle and was a 2022 seventh-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders.
  • The current tackle group features Jack Conklin, Cornelius Lucas and KT Leveston with Munford joining as additional depth.
  • He is projected to function as the swing tackle and could be a short-notice starter if Jack Conklin is unavailable.
  • The move positions the Browns for their Week 5 game against the Lions as the team continues to manage recurring tackle injuries.
