Browns place Nick Harris on IR

The Cleveland Browns have placed the offensive lineman on injured reserve with a hamstring injury while also making two other roster moves.

The depth on the Cleveland Browns offensive line took another hit as the team has placed Nick Harris on injured reserve. Harris has a hamstring injury which led to his landing on IR. Cleveland also made two additional moves Tuesday, terminating the contract of Elijah Lee and signing guard Hjalte Froholdt from the Texans practice squad.

Nick Harris is yet to play an offensive snap this season, but has appeared on a handful of special teams snaps (16). As a rookie Harris appeared in 12 games including one start for Cleveland when the team was in desperate need of offensive line help. Considering the injury to Harris and the uncertainties surrounding Jedrick Wills and Chris Hubbard with their injuries, this could be a move to ensure they have another body just in case neither can go on Sunday.

As far as Elijah Lee is concerned, he has seen most of his action on special teams, appearing in no less than 78% of ST snaps this season. There is always a good chance the Browns bring him back again in some capacity since they have already done that this season.
