The Browns have acquired second-year running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the Patriots in exchange for offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr., it was announced on Sunday.

Strong Jr., who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, never made an impact during his brief time in New England. Over 15 games in his rookie campaign, the former South Dakota State standout rushed for 100 yards and one touchdown on just 10 carries, while hauling in seven receptions for 42 yards in the passing game.
