The Cleveland Browns have begun their end-of-training camp cuts as they seek to get their team down from 90 players to 53. They must have all of their decisions solidified by 4 PM EST on Tuesday on their journey to build their initial roster.
With a flurry of players coming back from injury lists just in time for cutdown day, the Browns will be forced with a lot of tough decisions on players who may have had a roster spot if there were players on Injured Reserve. It is also worth mentioning that there are players who need to make the initial 53-man roster before they can be placed on IR as well. Center Luke Wypler falls into this category.
A year ago, the Browns released defensive tackle Maurice Hurst and offensive guard Michael Dunn to make room for players who needed to go on IR. As soon as those players cleared out a roster spot and were moved to IR, the Browns then re-signed Hurst and Dunn. We could see a similar movement with some veterans this year as well.
Follow along here to see every move the Browns have made to get their roster down to their initial 53-man roster:
