The Cleveland Browns made an interesting move on Wednesday, claiming running back Darius Jackson off of waivers from the Dallas Cowboys.
The team announced the move, along with the release of linebacker Corey Lemonier, on their website.
Jackson was drafted by the Cowboys in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft in a bit of a surprise move. The Cowboys had already selected running back Ezekiel Elliott in the first round and already had Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris and Lance Dunbar on the roster.
That crowded backfield led the Cowboys to keep Jackson on their practice squad for the first 13 weeks of the season before releasing him, but they saw something in him as did the Browns, who quickly picked him up from the waiver wire.
