Cleveland Browns Release Veteran Center Off Injured Reserve

Ahead the first day of training camp from Berea this summer the Browns were busy making some small tweaks to the roster.

Most notably, just days after veteran center Brian Allen was placed on the IR by the team the 28-year-old was released by the franchise. Allen signed with the Browns back in March and was expected to make a play for the backup center job during camp, before suffering a calf injury late last week while the team was practicing at the Greenbrier.

Subsequently, the team signed safety Faion Hicks, and waiced safety Dyshawn Gales. Hicks was a seventh-round draft pick out of Wisconsin by the Denver Bronocs in 2022 and played two games during his rookie season. In 2023 he served as a member of the Saints practice squad.
