Browns bring Carsen Ryan back to practice squad
This year's seventh round pick is back with the team on the practice squad ahead of Week 8.
In recent developments concerning the Cleveland Browns, the team has opted to bring back seventh-round rookie Carsen Ryan to their practice squad. This move was necessitated by the activation of second-year quarterback Dillon Gabriel from the injured reserve list, which in turn caused a vacancy on the active roster. The Browns are currently fielding four quarterbacks, a scenario that is uncommon and suggests a potential alteration before the trade deadline to revert to three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.
Tight end Carsen Ryan has successfully cleared the waivers, leading to his re-addition to the practice squad following Tuesday's moves. Despite not having participated in any games this season, Ryan is viewed as a promising candidate to receive playing time behind Harold Fannin Jr. as the team's secondary tight end option. Should a setback occur to Blake Whiteheart, Ryan could step in and contribute.
The Browns still harbor a need for additional help at the tight end position, particularly if they could secure a dependable blocker to bolster Fannin, who excels when utilized in a passing offense but may lack consistency in blocking situations. This report on the Browns Wire details the team's recent action with Carsen Ryan.
