The Cleveland Browns claimed defensive end Curtis Weaver off waivers on Tuesday.
In a corresponding transaction, the Browns placed safety Grant Delpit on injured reserve with a torn Achilles tendon.
Weaver was a fifth-round selection of the Miami Dolphins in the 2020 NFL Draft. As a redshirt junior with Boise State in 2019, Weaver earned Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year honors and finished his collegiate career as the conference’s career leader in sacks with 34.
The Dolphins had placed Weaver on waivers with a foot injury on Monday to open up a roster spot to re-sign linebacker Trent Harris.
