The Cleveland Browns are heading into their final preseason contest this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks with a few soft spots on their roster due to injuries.
One of the most notable is at the running back position after Pierre Strong suffered a rib contusion during practice earlier this week.
The Browns have made three moves over the past two days to address those issues, including the re-signing of a kicker who played with the team last year.
Insider Mary Kay Cabot revealed on Twitter the Browns signed running back Jacob Saylors to the team to serve as the fourth healthy running back against Seattle.
Cleveland will be the fourth NFL franchise to have signed Saylors over the past two seasons after spending time with the New York Giants, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Saylors is a 24-year-old athlete who played collegiately at East Tennessee State for five seasons, amassing 3,851 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns during his career.
In addition to adding Saylors, the Browns announced on Friday the team would be re-signing kicker Lucas Havrisik on Twitter.
Havrisik spent time with the Browns last season before the Los Angeles Rams signed him off the team’s practice squad in October.
In Los Angeles, Havrisik participated in nine games for the Rams and made 15 of the 20 field goals he kicked for the team.
Havrisik also joined the Browns during the 2024 offseason before being waived before the team’s training camp
