Browns coach Hue Jackson made no promises former first-round draft pick Justin Gilbert would survive roster cuts this weekend.
All NFL teams must trim from 75 to 53 players by 4 p.m. Saturday. And although the Browns are thin at cornerback, Gilbert may not be safe after two disappointing seasons under the previous regime. He suffered a concussion last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and didn’t play Thursday night in a 21-7 loss to the Chicago Bears in the exhibition finale.
“Justin did some things better [in the preseason],” Jackson said of the eighth overall selection in 2014 on Friday during a conference call.
