Browns Waive Players and Reach Roster Cuts

The Cleveland Browns have made significant roster changes, waiving defensive tackle Jowon Briggs and four wide receivers, including James Proche II, as they prepare for the NFL's cutdown deadline. Briggs, formerly of the University of Cincinnati, is seen as a potential fit for the Cincinnati Bengals, who are currently in need of depth at defensive tackle. The Browns also confirmed that Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb will not be activated from the physically unable to perform list, missing at least the first four games of the season due to knee surgeries. In related moves, the team waived running backs Aidan Robbins and Jacob Saylors, while reassessing their roster depth at the position. Coach Kevin Stefanski expressed optimism about Chubb's recovery, noting his hard work and progress in rehab. The team aims to finalize their 53-man roster ahead of the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
