League sources told News 5's Camryn Justice that the team is considering placing Hance, Harley, Baldwin, Perry and Jolly on the practice squad if they aren't picked up by another team.
The Browns are not expected to return Stanton to the practice squad, ending his tenure, and fullback season, in Cleveland.
Tied for least favorite thing I'll tweet today: The #Browns have released FB Johnny Stanton. At this time, he's not expected to return to the practice squad.

Winston is another player not expected to return to the practice squad, sources indicated.
With these cuts, many questions remain about who will play receiver for the Browns this season. The Browns will explore options at all positions on the waiver wire as teams continue reducing their rosters to 53. We'll keep updating this story throughout the day.
