The Cleveland Browns completed their roster adjustments following the conclusion of the preseason. Management declined to sign wide receiver Luke Floriea to the practice squad after he was waived, citing his lack of special teams utility compared to other rostered returners like Malachi Corley and Tylan Wallace. Additionally, the team moved on from offensive guard KT Leveston. Rookie lineman Austin Barber remains with the team and received praise for his performance during training camp and preseason games. Barber, a 33-game starter at Florida, continues to work as a reserve on the depth chart. The front office maintains roster flexibility, with general manager Andrew Berry retaining the ability to target players from other teams' practice squads if injuries occur during the season.
