Cleveland Browns 53-Man Roster Projection

It is time for my 53-man roster projection for the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Kevin Stefanski will get together and consult with General Manager Andrew Berry, as they work together to trim the roster to 53 players by 4:00 PM ET on Tuesday, August 26. This projection is based on the weeks of training camp reports, the preseason games to date, and my general instincts.
