After the initial 53-man roster cut down, it was clear the Cleveland Browns needed help at backup offensive tackle. Left on the roster was Roderick Johnson, who was injured against the Chicago Bears, and Zach Sterup, who looked less than stellar in that same game.
Helping to fill that need is the Browns’ most recent pickup from the waiver wire, Zach Banner.
Banner was a fourth-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts, in a surprise move, cut Banner hoping to slide him onto the practice squad.
In a corresponding move, the Browns placed Roderick Johnson on injured reserve.
