On the same day that veteran center Brian Allen limped off the practice field, the Browns added another offensive lineman to the roster. According to Aaron Wilson, the Cleveland Browns have signed USFL guard Zack Johnson. Allen has since been placed on Injured Reserve.
Johnson played this past season with the championship Birnigham Stallions and received All-USFL honors. He has good size at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds. He played several positions on the line in college at North Dakota State. Johnson played both tackle spots and right guard for the Bison before going undrafted in the 2020 draft.
Johnson has bounced around the NFL, spending time with the Packers, Cardinals, Broncos, Ravens, and Titans before heading to the USFL. He will join a stacked room of interior linemen and will be a total long shot to make the roster after camp.
The Browns wrapped up their third training camp practice of the year Saturday with the first padded practice coming up on Monday.
