The Browns announced the release of 11 players on Sunday and placed WR Jakeem Grant on injured reserve following his season-ending injury.

The following is a list of players waived by the team:

  1. CB Caleb Biggers
  2. LB Cam Bright
  3. TE Miller Forristall
  4. TE Thomas Greaney
  5. CB Gavin Heslop
  6. T Derrick Kelly II
  7. S Nate Meadors
  8. WR Anthony Schwartz (injury designation)
  9. WR Jalen Wayne
  10. G Colby Gossett
  11. RB Jordan Wilkins

Schwartz was waived with an injury designation while Gossett and Wilkins had their contracts terminated.

Grant, 30, is a former sixth-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.48 million rookie contract when the Dolphins signed him to a four-year extension worth up to $24 million in 2019. 

Miami restructured that contract entering the 2021 season before he was acquired by the Bears in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round draft pick. He was testing the free agent market when he signed a three-year, $13.8 million deal with Cleveland, which he restructured in 2023.

Grant suffered a torn Achilles’ and missed the entire 2022 season and it now seems that his 2023 season may be in jeopardy as well. 

In 2021, Grant appeared in four games for the Dolphins and 11 games for the Bears, recording 11 receptions for 132 yards (12.0 YPC) and two touchdowns, to go along with five rushing attempts for 33 yards. He also recorded 539 kickoff return yards and 309 punt return yards and a touchdown.
