The Cleveland Browns claimed quarterback Kellen Mond off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday.
Mond gives the Browns a third quarterback on their active roster behind starter Jacoby Brissett and backup Joshua Dobbs while Deshaun Watson serves his 11-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Watson's suspension began on Tuesday. He can't return to the facility or have contact with the Browns until Oct. 10, and he can't practice again until Nov. 14.
Mond was waived by the Vikings on Tuesday as they trimmed to their initial 53-man roster.
