The Browns’ roster shuffle continued Tuesday, a day after their 27-6 loss to the Steelers in the rubber match on the road.
Cleveland moved on from four players on its practice squad, waiving or releasing WR Bub Means, P Wes Pahl, OG Vershon Lee, and OT Andrew Coker.
To replace them, the Browns added three more bodies to the practice squad: WR Xavier Guillory, OG Austin Blaske, and OT Xavier Truss. That still leaves one opening on the unit. Estime will not be the one to take it, though, because he was claimed by Cleveland’s Week 9 opponent, the New Orleans Saints.
Guillory, who is 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2025 out of Arizona State. He signed with the Ravens and spent last year and this season on Baltimore’s practice squad before being waived on October 13. He ran a 4.58 and has yet to appear on a main roster.
Blaske, listed at 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, went undrafted this year out of North Carolina. He initially landed with the Rams, was a last-day cut, and then joined their practice squad.
Truss brings the most NFL experience of the three. The 6-foot-7, 320-pound lineman played at Georgia, where he was part of two National Championship teams, and went undrafted in 2025.
Since then, he has spent time with the Broncos, Saints, Browns, and Eagles. He has logged time on practice squads and appeared in seven NFL games with New Orleans.
Philadelphia waived him on October 27. Truss also played for Browns head coach Todd Monken at Georgia.

Browns Trade Deadline Debate Just Got More Urgent After New Concern
After the loss to the Steelers, Todd Monken kept the Browns message steady: patience, perspective and a reminder that the team has earned its 5-3 start. Even so, the conversation around Clevelands trade deadline plans has only gotten louder, because the issues that have trailed them into November are the kind that can shape a playoff push if they are not addressed soon.
The debate has centered on two obvious pressure points, the rushing offense and a defense that has shown some recent vulnerability. But the latest buzz suggests Cleveland may be leaning toward help on the defensive side first, with a run-stuffing tackle viewed by some as the cleaner fit than an offensive backfield addition. For a team trying to stay in the AFC mix, the next move could say plenty about how it sees itself. [Read more 🡒]
Browns May Need One Low-Cost Move To Save Their Offense
The Browns loss in Pittsburgh left them in a tougher spot in the AFC North, and the bigger concern is still the same one that has followed this offense for weeks: protection. Cleveland has had trouble creating lanes in the run game and keeping Deshaun Watson upright, a combination that has made the unit harder to trust and easier for defenses to attack.
One possible fix would not require a splashy move, either. The idea of going after Colts tight end Kylen Ogletree makes sense because of his reputation as a blocker, and that kind of low-cost addition could help steady the edge of the offense while giving Cleveland more help where it needs it most. The Browns do not need another headline-grabber as much as they need a piece that makes the whole operation function a little better. [Read more 🡒]
Baker Mayfield Just Added Another Twist To His Browns Split
Baker Mayfields latest win with Tampa Bay came with a strange footnote and a familiar Cleveland subplot. In a game against Kevin Stefanskis Falcons, the Buccaneers didnt complete a single pass but still rolled behind a franchise-record 324 rushing yards, while Atlanta never found much rhythm on offense. For Browns fans still tracking every turn in the Mayfield-Stefanski split, it was another reminder that the story has never really stopped following either man.
Mayfield also added a new wrinkle off the field, saying Stefanski never reached out after Cleveland traded him. That detail only sharpens the contrast between the two figures and helps explain why the breakup still lands differently with fans depending on which side they were on. Even now, with Mayfield winning elsewhere and Stefanski trying to build in Atlanta, the old divorce keeps producing fresh reactions. [Read more 🡒]
