Browns Sign New TE Jermaine Terry
18 Aug
Summary
- Jermaine Terry, a 23-year-old tight end, has been signed by the Cleveland Browns.
- The Browns waived Brenden Bates with an injury designation in a corresponding move.
- Quarterback Shedeur Sanders will start against the Buffalo Bills.
The Cleveland Browns bolstered their tight end position by signing Jermaine Terry. The 23-year-old, listed at 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, previously had a stint with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent. Terry is the latest addition to the team's tight end group, which also includes rookie Dae'Quan Wright, veteran Jack Stoll, and draft picks Joe Royer and Carsen Ryan.
Cleveland's need for depth at tight end has been exacerbated by the ongoing absence of rookie Joe Royer, who has been away from the team for personal reasons since the start of training camp. The Browns selected Royer in the fifth round of the draft, and there is currently no timetable for his return.
In other team news, Shedeur Sanders is slated to start at quarterback for the Browns' upcoming preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills. He will share first-team repetitions with Deshaun Watson throughout the week as Cleveland evaluates their quarterback competition. Many starters may see limited action in the game to prioritize health for the regular season opener on September 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
