The Las Vegas Raiders may see a familiar face when they meet the Cleveland Browns at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday. Kickoff is at 1:25 p.m. PT.
In a flurry of roster transactions, the Browns announced Wednesday that defensive end Elerson Smith had been signed to the practice squad.
Smith, 26, spent some time on the Raiders’ practice squad last season and is back for training camp. Smith was a star during the preseason, and several predicted he’d make the Silver and Black’s original 53-man roster.
He didn’t, and the Raiders chose not to add him to the practice squad despite standout defensive end Malcolm Koonce being gone for the season due to a knee injury.
Cleveland’s standout defensive end, Myles Garrett, has been suffering with several injuries and did not practice Wednesday as the Browns began preparations for Sunday’s game in Las Vegas. Garrett is reportedly scheduled to play despite the injury on Sunday.
