Former Green Bay Packers safety Tyler Coyle, who was released by the team as part of a series of roster moves on Wednesday, signed with the Cleveland Browns on Friday.
Coyle, 25, was released to make room for running back Nate McCrary and linebacker Chris Russell, who were signed when injuries hit the two positions this week.
Coyle was actually on the field for the Packers against the Browns in the preseason opener. He played 14 snaps, producing two tackles and a hurry. He also missed a tackle.
The turnaround time was quick for Coyle, who played eight snaps for the Browns during Saturday’s preseason clash with the Minnesota Vikings. He produced one stop and was Cleveland’s highest-graded defensive player at Pro Football Focus.
Coyle ended up playing back-to-back preseason games at Cleveland Browns Stadium: One as a member of the Packers, and another with the Browns. Cleveland lost both games.
Coyle went undrafted out of Purdue in 2023. He spent time on the practice squad of the Dallas Cowboys as a rookie before signing a futures deal with the Packers in January.
