The Cleveland Browns continue to make moves in the margins to improve their roster, specifically on the offensive side of the football.
Scott Petrak of Browns Zone reported Cleveland’s most recent roster alterations on Tuesday, November 28, noting a swapping out of running backs on the team’s practice squad.
“#Browns re-sign RB John Kelly Jr. to practice squad, release RB Kenyan Drake from practice squad,” Petrak wrote. “CB Thomas Graham Jr. waived from IR.”

The Browns signed Drake on October 31 — the NFL’s trade deadline — after hosting a workout for the former Baltimore Ravens running back the week prior. Drake has a more significant NFL history than does Kelly, appearing in 103 games and starting 44 contests over the course of his eight-year career. During that span, Drake has amassed 3,866 rushing yards and 33 TDs.
Kelly, 27, is two years younger than Drake and has more experience within the Browns offense and locker room, which likely played a factor in the team’s decision to switch back to its previous roster construction.
