****POST TO BE UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE DAY****
By Ryan Kaczmarski
The Cleveland Browns have started to make the final cuts to get the roster down to 53 men who will go into week No. 1 next Sunday.
Quarterback Thaddeus Lewis was an early cut on Saturday by the Browns. Cutting Lewis, along with wide receiver Josh Lenz, means Johnny Manziel figures to be the backup quarterback and Terrelle Pryor might secure a roster spot as a wide out and emergency quarterback.
Wide Receiver Josh Lenz was one of the first to go this morning, as he sent this tweet:
Well just got done signing the release papers. Thanks to everyone for support this pre-season! It’s been real Cleveland! #DownNotOut
— Josh Lenz (@Josh_Lenz) September 5, 2015
He was a favorite in the locker room, as Donte Witner tweeted this out yesterday:
I give credit where credit is due & @Josh_Lenz deserves it! I watched this guy come in from day 1 and flat out ball! & showed tons of heart — DonteHitner (@DonteWhitner) September 4, 2015
Lenz will possibly pass through waivers and be signed to the practice squad by the Browns on Sunday.
Full list:
– Defensive lineman Jacobbi McDaniel confirmed in a series of tweets he too has been released.
– Cornerback Joe Rankin per the Akron Beacon Journal
– Defensive lineman Dylan Winn per Cleveland.com
– Quarterback Thaddeus Lewis per WaitingForNextYear’s Scott Sargent
