BEREA, Ohio — Following Tuesday's roster cut deadline across the NFL, players who found themselves off their teams could have new opportunities on a practice squad.

Beginning at 12 p.m. Wednesday, after cut players cleared waivers, teams have been cleared to begin assembling their practice squads—including the Browns.

Here's who the Browns are adding to their practice squad:

  • CB Lorenzo Burns
  • WR Jaelon Darden
  • G Michaell Dunn
  • RB Hassan Hall
  • DT Trysten Hill
  • DE Sam Kamara
  • S Tanner McCalister
  • TE Zaire Mitchell-Paden
  • DE Lonnie Phelps
  • LB Charlie Thomas III
  • DE Isaiah Thomas
  • WR Austin Watkins
  • K Lucas Havrisik
  • T Alex Leatherwood
  • QB P.J. Walker

The Browns can hold up to 16 players on the practice squad, and more moves will continue as the season approaches and other players become available.
Additionally, the Browns claimed cornerback Kahlef Hailassie via waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs. To make room on the 53-man roster, the Browns waived cornerback A.J. Green.
