Colts waive cornerback Mekhi Blackmon; Browns claim him off waivers

The Colts waived cornerback Mekhi Blackmon on August 27 after his performance in recent preseason games. Following his release, Blackmon was quickly claimed by the Browns, who are looking for depth in their secondary as injuries have affected their cornerback situation. Blackmon, a 2023 third-round pick, started 11 games last season and has significant NFL experience. He struggled in joint practices and preseason games, which led to his waiver. The Browns hope Blackmon can improve and provide valuable contributions moving forward.
