Browns place Dylan Sampson on IR, add Jaleel McLaughlin to roster

Summary

The Cleveland Browns have placed running back Dylan Sampson on injured reserve due to a knee injury that will keep him out for significant time. Sampson, a fourth-round pick in 2025, was active last Sunday but exited the game after returning two kicks. To fill his spot, the Browns signed running back Jaleel McLaughlin to their 53-man roster and also added several players to the practice squad, including Eric Gray and Obinna Eze. Additionally, cornerback D'Angelo Ross and defensive tackle Chris Williams were released from the practice squad.
