Overview
- Tennessee claimed rookie lineman Garrett Dellinger off waivers on Tuesday, one day after Cleveland released him.
- The Browns re-signed wide receiver Jamari Thrash on Monday after he cleared waivers, undoing Saturday’s move that cut him to activate Dellinger.
- Dellinger played 29 snaps in his NFL debut against the Bears and earned Cleveland’s third-highest offensive grade from Pro Football Focus.
- Cleveland’s offensive line remains depleted, with Joel Bitonio the only original starter available as Ethan Pocic and Dawand Jones are out for the year and Wyatt Teller and Jack Conklin missed the Chicago game.
- Protection issues were glaring versus Chicago, where Shedeur Sanders was pressured on 48% of his 42 dropbacks; the 3-11 Browns now turn to Week 16 against the Bills.
