Browns Waive Kadarius Toney After Steelers Loss

Kadarius Toney was waived by the Cleveland Browns following a series of costly mistakes in their 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Toney, who joined the Browns earlier this year after previous stints with the Giants and Chiefs, committed a taunting penalty and muffed a critical punt, eroding any chance of a Browns comeback. His release marks the third time Toney has been let go by an NFL team since being drafted 20th overall in 2021. Despite a promising start in the NFL, including a pivotal role in the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory, Toney's career has been marred by inconsistency and mental lapses. The Browns also placed cornerback Greg Newsome II on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, ending his season. This series of roster changes reflects ongoing struggles for the Browns, who are out of playoff contention.
