One day after the roster cutdown deadline to 53 players, the next big event for NFL rosters was the first waiver claim awards at noon on Wednesday. Cleveland had the second-highest waiver priority, only behind the Titans, and had a few positions that could use external help.
The Browns announced they have claimed rookie running back Raheim Sanders from the Chargers and cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse from the Jets. In correspondence, the Browns waived tight end Brenden Bates and undrafted rookie Dom Jones from the 53-man roster.
