Oct. 22 (UPI) -- The Cleveland Browns will sign Bailey Zappe off the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad, adding depth to their quarterbacks room, a source familiar with the deal told UPI on Tuesday.
The agreement came less than 24 hours after the Browns announced that starter Deshaun Watson will miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign with a ruptured right Achilles tendon.
Watson was hurt in the second quarter of the Browns' 21-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in Cleveland.
Zappe signed with the Chiefs over the off-season. The fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft spent his first two seasons with the New England Patriots.
