During last season’s NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns took a flyer on undrafted free agent left tackle Desmond Harrison. Harrison showed promise during his tenure with the Dawg Pound, but as of Wednesday afternoon, the Browns have officially relieved the second-year lineman of his duties.
Harrison started the first eight games for the Browns last season, but was benched in favor of Greg Robinson just before Freddie Kitchens took over the offense. Robinson would go on to be the leading man for the Browns’ offensive line renaissance during the second half of last year.
This move certainly comes as a shock, but Harrison was no longer needed by the Browns.
