Browns Show Interest in Former Steelers Defensive Back
A former defensive back of the Pittsburgh Steelers could soon join their AFC North rival.
The Cleveland Browns have shown interest in Israel Mukuamu, a former defensive back of the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson. Mukuamu, 26, was recently worked out by the Browns, following his release from the Steelers due to an injury sustained during a practice on August 15. Mukuamu, a sixth-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in the 2021 NFL Draft, has a background primarily as a special teams player.
He made a notable contribution in 2022 with three starts and two interceptions, allowing nine catches for a 46.7 passer rating against. Despite his performance, he was released by the Cowboys last August and later played for the Carolina Panthers' practice squad, appearing in a single game before being released in November.
