The Cleveland Browns added running back Jaleel McLaughlin to their practice squad on September 1, 2026. McLaughlin was released by the Denver Broncos on Sunday after failing to secure a spot on the 53-man roster during training camp. Although he appeared in 41 games for Denver over the last three seasons, Head Coach Sean Payton indicated that special teams contributions played a significant role in final roster decisions. McLaughlin remained unclaimed on the waiver wire before agreeing to terms in Cleveland. He joins a depth chart currently occupied by Quinshon Judkins, Dylan Sampson, and Raheim Sanders. The move reunites the running back with a region where he played his collegiate career at Notre Dame and Youngstown State.
