The Cleveland Browns elevated two practice squad players to the active roster ahead of their Week 8 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Cleveland elevated running back Jordan Wilkins and offensive tackle Ty Nsekhe, the team announced Saturday, to provide some much-needed depth in the face of a few injuries on offense.
Wilkins spent time with the Browns during the preseason and was officially signed to the practice squad on Oct. 24. He previously played four games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2022 and from 2018-2020. Wilkins played one season with the Tennessee Titans in 2021. For his career, Wilkins has rushed 208 times for 1,009 yards and four touchdowns. He could see action if Jerome Ford, who’s questionable with an ankle injury, cannot suit up on Sunday. Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong Jr. would be the other two running backs.
Similarly, Nsekhe could see action if fellow offensive tackle Jedrick Wills (ankle, foot) cannot play. Nsekhe had been activated once this season already after the Browns brought him up from the practice squad for Week 3 against the Titans. He played five special team snaps in the 27-3 win for Cleveland. The 38-year-old Nsekhe previously played for Washington Commanders, Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams with 25 career starts.
