Browns poach young player from Commanders

The Cleveland Browns have made a roster move today, adding youngster cornerback Chigozie Anusiem off of the practice squad of the Washington Commanders.

Anusiem, a rookie undrafted free agent from Colorado State, will wear No. 35 for the Browns. Listed at 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, Anusiem recorded one interception for the Rams a year ago as a fifth-year senior.

Perhaps where he will see the majority of his snaps, Anusiem played 91 special teams snaps a year ago, predominantly on punt return and field goal block.

This is just one of several roster spots the Browns have left to fill after releasing defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson, trading defensive end Za’Darius Smith, and placing linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on Injured Reserve. Expect to see two more roster moves come down the pipeline shortly.
