Browns Claim OL Ikard off Waivers from Bills; Place Bitonio on IR

BEREA, OHIO – The Browns on Monday claimed OL Gabe Ikard via waivers from Buffalo. In addition, the club placed OL Joel Bitonio on injured reserve.

Ikard is 6-4, 300-pounds and in his second NFL season out of Oklahoma. Originally signed by the Titans as an undrafted free agent in 2014, Ikard spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve after sustaining a knee injury in the preseason. This year, he has appeared in three games as a reserve with Buffalo after being acquired via waivers during final roster cuts. A native of Oklahoma City, Ikard graduated from Bishop McGuinness High School.

Bitonio started 10 games this season at left guard. He missed the previous two games with an ankle injury before returning to the lineup yesterday, but a first-quarter ankle injury forced him out of the game.
