CHICAGO — Back in training camp, Justin Currie caught the attention on the Browns’ coaching staff with his work ethic on and off the field. The second-year safety and former practice squad player surely opened more eyes on a snowy Christmas Eve in Chicago.
Currie, who earned first-team reps in the preseason before an ankle injury forced Cleveland to part with him in during roster cuts, recorded his first-career sack in Sunday’s loss to the Bears, dropping rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on third down in the game’s first series.
The former Western Michigan standout and undrafted free agent also added three tackles, including one for loss, and a quarterback hurry in limited defensive snaps, helping fill the void left by injured strong safety Derrick Kindred.
