One former Brown lands in division as another works out for Denver
KJ Henry is headed to Pittsburgh while Jamari Thrash works out out west.
Two former Cleveland Browns are making waves this week, with one deepening ties in the division and the other vying for a spot in the AFC West. Defensive end KJ Henry has transferred his skills to the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad following a successful training camp stint with the 49ers this season. Meanwhile, wide receiver Jamari Thrash is putting his efforts into impressing the Denver Broncos as he prepares to potentially earn a roster spot out West.
KJ Henry has demonstrated flashes of talent during his career, although he has struggled to make a lasting impact in games. During his time with the Browns in 2025, he served as a depth piece and played in just one game. Prior to this, he had previously been on the Steelers practice squad on two occasions. KJ Henry's journey in the NFL has been characterized by his brief appearances and occasional bursts of potential.
Jamari Thrash, on the other hand, entered the league as a fifth-round pick for the Browns in 2024 but never fully grasped his role amid a series of injuries. Throughout his two seasons with the team, Thrash managed to secure just 13 receptions for a paltry 129 yards. As he enters the new week, the wide receiver remains determined to prove his worth and secure a coveted starting position with the Broncos.
