The Browns waived former first-round draft pick Jonathan Cooper on Tuesday.
Cooper started the past three games at right guard in place of John Greco, who suffered a season-ending Lisfranc injury Nov. 27 against the New York Giants.
Cooper, whom the Arizona Cardinals drafted seventh overall in 2013, appeared in five games with the Browns after they claimed him off waivers from the New England Patriots on Oct. 10.
Alvin Bailey, who has started two games at right guard and three at left guard this season, will revert back to the Browns' active roster once his roster exemption expires Wednesday.
