Browns roster moves: McKinley to IR, Gustin signed, two released off practice squad

As the Cleveland Browns prepare for the final three games of the season, the roster will continue to be in flux. Players will come off the reserve/COVID-19 list this week and next. Players could go on and off the injured reserve list, although players put on this week would only be eligible to return during the playoffs if they are healthy enough.

Tuesday, the team made four roster moves. First, as reported, Takk McKinley was placed on the injured reserve due to his Achilles injury. McKinley is likely to miss much of next season as well with the injury.

Second, to take McKinley’s place on the roster, the Browns signed Porter Gustin from their practice squad to their active roster. Gustin played in 14 games for Cleveland last year, 22 total over three seasons, with 47 tackles and one sack to his record.

Finally, the team released TE Nick Guggemos and WR Alexander Hollins off of their practice squad.

With practice squad and roster spots available, expect a number of other moves from the Browns this week in advance of their matchup with the Green Bay Packers
