LOOK: Browns’ 54-man roster vs. Jaguars after elevating Joe Flacco, waiving P.J. Walker

After dropping two games in a row, the Cleveland Browns return home looking for a rebound win as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ahead of this Week 14 matchup, however, the Browns made a few changes to their roster. First, they elevated quarterback Joe Flacco from the practice squad. Then they activated cornerback Cameron Mitchell off of Injured Reserve, waiving quarterback P.J. Walker to make room for the rookie defensive back.

All signs point toward Flacco being signed to the active roster on Monday as the Browns now have just one quarterback in rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson on their actual 53-man roster at this point. While the Browns have not officially named a starting quarterback, there is reason to believe that Flacco will make his second start after a promising debut a week ago.

If P.J. Walker clears waivers, and the New York Jets might be desperate enough to sign him, expect him to land back onto the practice squad in Cleveland. After these changes to their roster, however, here is Cleveland’s 54-man gameday roster, highlighted by Joe Flacco, as they get set to take on the Jaguars at home.
