Overview
- Cleveland waived undrafted rookie wide receiver Aaron Anderson with an injury designation after he suffered a right-shoulder injury in training camp and the team has not disclosed a recovery timeline.
- The Browns used the open roster spot to claim 6-foot-3, 305-pound defensive tackle Coziah Izzard off waivers from the Arizona Cardinals to add depth on the interior defensive line.
- If Anderson clears waivers he will typically revert to Cleveland’s injured reserve list unless the team and player agree to an injury settlement that would allow him to return to free agency when healthy.
- Anderson signed with the Browns after a rookie-minicamp tryout following his LSU career and faced long odds on the depth chart, while Izzard arrives with a pro path that included stops with the Chiefs and Saints and a productive college career at Penn State.
- The move highlights how training-camp injuries and roster rules force teams to prioritize immediate positional needs and give short-notice chances to veteran fringe players to compete for preseason snaps.
