Jaleel McLaughlin joins Cleveland Browns 53-man roster after injury

Summary

Jaleel McLaughlin has been signed to the Cleveland Browns’ active roster after the team placed running back Dylan Sampson on injured reserve. McLaughlin, who was released by the Denver Broncos prior to the season, had been on the Browns' practice squad following his departure. He brings a total of 1,356 combined scrimmage yards in his NFL career. The Broncos opted for other running back options this season, making McLaughlin’s return to Denver unlikely. The Browns will not face the Broncos during the regular season, limiting any chance for McLaughlin to compete directly against his former team this year.
