Jaelon Darden returns while Royce Freeman is added
The only thing constant with the Cleveland Browns over the last couple of years has been injuries and roster moves. Some good games, some bad games and some great games but the roster has been far from stable.
Part of that is GM Andrew Berry’s regular desire to churn the bottom of the roster but last year’s injury-riddled season has given way to another.
Tuesday, Cleveland placed WR David Bell on injured reserve, ending his season after dislocating his hip. No surprise there but a sad end to the season for the former third-round pick who had three receptions before getting injured in Week 2.
The Browns brought back WR and returner Jaelon Darden to the practice squad and signed RB Royce Freeman to the reserve unit as well.
Darden returned five punts for 72 yards and four kickoffs for 97 yards in Week 1 versus the Dallas Cowboys after being signed to the 53-man roster. He was released prior to Week 2’s game.
Freeman was a third-round pick of the Denver Broncos back in 2018. He had his best year as a rookie with 521 yards rushing and five touchdowns on 130 carries. Last year, with the Los Angeles Rams, Freeman had 77 carries for 319 yards and two touchdowns.
