Browns sign receiver Alexander Hollins

The wide receiver has been signed from the Minnesota Vikings practice squad.

The Cleveland Browns had signed Alexander Hollins to their active roster. The wide receiver had been on the practice squad of the Minnesota Vikings prior to the signing.

While nothing is known at this time about the status of the four receivers who missed Sunday’s game, this appears to be an insurance policy of sorts. If the Browns find themselves short handed against the Steelers in Week 17, they have another receiver to turn to.

Alexander Hollins appeared in 5 games for the Vikings last season, finishing with 2 receptions for 46 yards on 4 targets.
