Overview
- Monday the Browns released Audric Estime after less than three weeks with the team, ending a short stint that began when Cleveland signed him from the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad on Oct. 13.
- Estime played one game for the Browns on Oct. 18, carrying nine times for 19 yards and scoring a fourth‑quarter touchdown in a 13‑10 win over Baltimore.
- The Browns did not announce a corresponding roster move when they waived Estime, leaving an active‑roster opening the team can use before the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10.
- Cleveland’s running game has swung between a 183‑yard performance against Tennessee and a 34‑yard outing in a loss to Pittsburgh, and offensive coordinator Todd Monken publicly criticized the unit’s execution.
- Yaho o/Saints Wire reporting notes NFL injury‑settlement rules should allow Estime to be eligible to rejoin New Orleans now, and the Saints have changed their run‑game coaching setup while searching for more production.
