According to a report by NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Cleveland Browns are releasing former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney.
The Brown initially signed Toney to their practice squad on September 9 after he was released by the Chiefs on August 27. Toney was elevated to Cleveland’s active roster in Week 14, but failed to make a positive impact in his Browns debut.
In Kansas City, Toney is mostly remembered for his legendary punt return in Super Bowl LVII that helped propel the Chiefs to victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
On Sunday, Toney muffed a punt in Cleveland’s Week 14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which may have played into the Browns’ decision to waive him.

The former Florida Gator struggled with drops during his tenure in Kansas City but is a terrifically talented wideout with all the physical tools scouts look for in elite playmakers.

Stay tuned to see if general manager Brett Veach will decide to kick the tires on Toney later this season if the Chiefs find themselves in need of another pass-catcher due to injuries.
