The\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0have reunited with Tre Avery just days after cutting ties with the veteran cornerback.<\/p>\n
Avery, who was previously on the active roster, will now be signed to the practice squad,\u00a0the team announced. The Browns had\u00a0waived Avery earlier in the week\u00a0and no corresponding move was made.<\/p>\n
Originally signed by Tennessee as an undrafted free agent in 2022, Avery has appeared in 44 career games, including six with the Browns this season. Avery has played almost exclusively on special teams with Cleveland this season. Avery was one of the gunners on the\u00a0Jets\u2018 punt return for a touchdown in Week 10.<\/p>\n
The Browns have since filled the roster spot with wide receiver Kaden Davis, who was promoted from the practice squad. The Browns\u00a0officially announced the move\u00a0on Wednesday. Davis went undrafted in 2022 and has since bounced around. He\u2019s spent time with the\u00a0Denver Broncos,\u00a0Detroit Lions\u00a0and\u00a0Arizona Cardinals\u00a0on the practice squad. He spent 2023 playing for the Michigan\u00a0Panthers\u00a0in the USFL.<\/p>\n
Davis spent part of last year and this season on the Browns\u2019 practice squad. He\u2019s been elevated for one game, recording 14 snaps on special teams. Davis had a solid preseason with the Browns, catching six passes for 67 yards with two touchdowns.<\/p>\n
The Browns\u2019 special teams\u00a0let them down against the Jets. In a game where the offense took a slight step forward and the defense dominated early, two return touchdowns on punt and kick returns were backbreakers.<\/p>\n
Browns special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone addressed the mistakes on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the kickoff, got to do a better job of getting off blocks and then folding when necessary. You know, we practiced that play multiple times throughout the week, so could have done a better job with our details, and our techniques and our fundamentals,\u201d\u00a0Ventrone said. \u201cAnd then on our punt, just not taking the easiest release in the coverage, getting outside the ball, and then we need a better ball with better hang on that. So, we need to do a better job. We haven\u2019t played near our capabilities. We\u2019ve had too many issues with just dumb football, dumb mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Browns are 2-7 and looking to turn things around after a rough loss to the Jets. The morale may be low but coach Kevin Stefanski needs the guys to lock in for a divisional matchup against the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to turn around and get right back at it, so that\u2019s what we\u2019ll do. We got to quickly learn from it, and then, like I said to you guys, move forward to a division game at our place,\u201d Stefanski said.<\/p>\n
The Ravens have won three in a row and it isn\u2019t a great get-right spot for Cleveland.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re talented at all levels,\u201d\u00a0Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel said. \u201cThey play really good as a unit, communicate really effectively. Yeah, we have our hands full.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Browns lost to the Ravens in Week 2, 41-17, in a game that was never particularly close. Baltimore was able to blow that game open with 31 second-half points. The Browns\u00a0are a 9.5-point underdog for the Week 11 matchup.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Denver Broncos\u00a0have been without All-Pro cornerback\u00a0Pat Surtain II\u00a0since Week 8, but the star defender insists he\u2019s making rapid progress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Surtain suffered a pectoral strain during Denver\u2019s big win over the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0in Week 8.,\u00a0<\/p>\n
As The SportsRush noted, While the injury forced him to miss two straight games, he says his body is responding in a great way.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes me anxious to go back out there,\u201d Surtain told Closed on Sundays.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause now you can see how many more plays I can make\u2026 them boys eating up front. I feel like Wolverine, my dog.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like Wolverine, my dog,\u201d Surtain said. \u201cEverything\u2019s going on schedule. Your boy moving his arm a little bit now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can do a push-up. My strength is coming back. We progressing in small increments.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Broncos\u2019 defense has dominated in his absence, but that dominance has only heightened Surtain\u2019s urge to rejoin the lineup.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes me anxious to go back out there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause now you can see how many more plays I can make. How aggressive I can be, because them boys eating up front.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite his optimism, Surtain remained a DNP on Denver\u2019s Wednesday injury report and is still trending toward another missed game in Week 11.<\/p>\n
Surtain\u2019s pectoral strain initially sparked concern that he might have needed to go on injured reserve, which would have guaranteed a minimum four-game absence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported early that IR was on the table, but Denver ultimately kept Surtain off the list.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is a strong indication the injury was likely a low-grade strain and that the team believed he could return within a month.<\/p>\n
So far, that timeline has held.<\/p>\n
Surtain has missed Weeks 9 and 10, and while he continues to sit out practice, the cornerback says the healing process is \u201cright on schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n
His ability to regain movement, push-up strength, and pain-free arm usage all point toward a realistic return after the bye in Week 13.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His Week 11 status remains doubtful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Surtain suffered the injury on October 26, meaning the early end of his projected 4-6 week timetable would fall just after Denver\u2019s matchup with the\u00a0Chiefs\u00a0on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He has not practiced since being sidelined, and the coaching staff has made clear he will need multiple sessions before retaking the field.<\/p>\n
Even without their reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Denver\u2019s defense has been nothing short of dominant.<\/p>\n
Over the two-game stretch Surtain has missed, the Broncos have allowed the fewest points in the\u00a0NFL, and rank second in sacks and yards allowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their ferocious pass rush has been the story of the season, as Denver already has 46 sacks through 10 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They are on pace to break the single-season NFL record of 72 set by the 1984\u00a0Bears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Surtain has taken notice of the historic pace and emphasized early in the year that Denver\u2019s defense had the potential to be one of the all-time greats.<\/p>\n
We could be mentioned among the greats\u2026 the 2000\u00a0Ravens, the Legion of Boom,\u201d he said. \u201cI said that with conviction.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Surtain\u2019s absence, the cornerback unit has held strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, no corner in the NFL erases top receivers the way Surtain does.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As good as this defense has been without Surtain, it came against inferior offensive competition in the Texans and\u00a0Raiders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This weekend will signal their first true offensive test against the Chiefs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With key AFC matchups ahead and playoff positioning at stake, Denver is hopeful its Wolverine-like superstar will be back soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he returns, the NFL\u2019s hottest defense gets even scarier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
