Browns signed RB John Kelly to the practice squad.
Kelly was with the team in the pre-season and actually led the Browns in rushing with 117 yards on 37 carries (3.2 yards per carry); however, the sixth round pick from the 2018 draft was cut at the end of training camp. With the Browns releasing Kenyan Drake from the practice squad this week, they decided to bring back Kelly; although, he figures to be nothing more than emergency depth.
Browns waived RB John Kelly.
Kelly led the Browns with 37 carries this preseason, turning them into 117 yards (3.2 YPC) and one touchdown. He was never going to crack Cleveland's deep running back room. But the former sixth-rounder out of Tennessee might be on the Browns' emergency list this season.
Browns signed RB John Kelly to a reserve/future contract.
The ex-Ram made zero 2020 regular season appearances after getting waived at final cuts in Los Angeles. Although he is still only 24, Kelly now has just 30 carries through three seasons after coming off the board at No. 176 overall in 2018. Cleveland is one of the places to be if you're a running back, but Kelly won't be a strong contender for No. 3 duties in 2021 behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
Rams waived RB John Kelly, DB Adonis Alexander, LB Daniel Bituli, TE Kendall Blanton, C Cohl Cabral, OG Jamill Demby, WR Earnest Edwards, DB Jake Gervase, K Lirim Hajrullahu, DB Juju Hughes, OG Jeremiah Kolone, WR J.J. Koski, DB Dayan Lake, K Austin MacGinnis, DB Tyrique McGhee, LB Derrick Moncrief, and WR Easop Winston.
Kelly, Alexander, and Demby are the only real notable names. Kelly was a 2018 sixth-round pick who could never ascend the depth chart, as the Rams continually bypassed him to make other draft picks at the position. He has 30 career carries for 83 scoreless yards. Demby was also a 2018 sixth-rounder. Alexander was a Supplemental pick by Washington.
