Ankou failed to make Jacksonville's season-opening roster but remained with the team on the practice squad, but he'll now have a chance to make an impression in Cleveland. The 25-year-old figures to fill a depth role with the rest of the Browns' defensive line currently healthy.

Ankou only played two games last season and made just four tackles, so he was likely a expendable piece on the defensive line. He will hope to latch onto another team to provide depth to a defensive line.
