Browns Cornerback Shake-Up | Cleveland Browns News

0:00On September 2nd, the Cleveland Browns are making some interesting moves at cornerback this offseason and it seems like fan favorites aren't. Necessarily part of the equation, they recently decided not to bring back wide receiver Luke Floria for their practice squad, and then they waved Michael Coates Jr., who had a strong training camp. Instead, the Browns picked up Noah Igbennegein, a former first round draft pick who was released by the Seattle Seahawks. Igbennegein brings some versatility, able to play different spots in the secondary and contributing on special teams. The downside is he's bounced around a bit, now with his third team in two years, and he's had some documented struggles in coverage. This decision leaves some fans wondering about Michael Coates Jr., especially since he was dealing with a minor lower body injury. The hope is he might clear waivers and return to the practice squad, but it's a risk the team is taking by bringing in players who haven't even practiced with him yet. The cornerback room is looking pretty different from when training camp started, they've also added mecky blackmon and Toriano pride junior to the mix.

1:03Igbennegein seems to be penciled in as a backup nickel corner, which makes sense given his experience. It's been a bit of a whirlwind for Browns fans lately, with roster decisions like these, and it definitely shows that the front office is focused on. Their own strategy, even if it means letting go of players who connected with the fanbase. Cleveland Browns News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters on the field and beyond.
