Browns sign QB Charlie Whitehurst, OL Austin Reiter

The Cleveland Browns have signed OL Austin Reiter off Washington’s practice squad and QB Charlie Whitehurst. To make room on the roster, the team terminated the contact of DL John Hughes III and waived LB Scooby Wright III.

QB Josh McCown (left shoulder) and OL Cameron Erving (pulmonary contusion) were injured last week against Baltimore and are expected to miss time.

Reiter is 6-2, 300-pounds and officially in his first NFL season out of South Florida. Originally selected by Washington in the seventh round of the 2015 draft, Reiter spent his rookie season and the first two weeks this year on the Redskins’ practice squad.
